Whistle

i know ive read about it somewhere on here, and was trying to locate the posts, but...

at 65 mph, the RDX whistles like a champ. sounds like its coming from the entire front of the car, but holy %#$&.

as the miles accumulate, im growing less fond. 17k.

Odd. Has it done this for a while? Maybe something isn't closing fully (hatch/doors)?

Mine has been good (12k) to date. I still have a front end clicking that i only notice in winter (likely due to unplowed roads on my block) - but otherwise, no complaints.

nope, right from the front of the car, happens exactly at 65 mph, i heard it over the stereo, opened and shut everything, turned whipers on/off....its just a loud whistle. my guess is something is up with the windshield, which may even be related to why it rattles, but maybe a seal shrunk up and is letting air in who knows but man its aggravating

Sounds like the windshield needs to be resealed. I had that happen on my wife's Lexus. After they resealed it perfect again.

MMike1981, Ihad a fluttering/whistle sound coming from the front windsheild top (at least that what I thought) at highway speeds. It drove me nuts. Then one weekend I was going to change the oil. I opened the hood and found maple tree (helicopters) leaves at the base of the windshield on the rubber gaskets. I cleaned these form under the hood and no more noise!

P.S. My only complaints on the car are people banging into my poor car! The passenger seat belt banging against the pillar. And the UNSMOOTH Accelerating 4 banger engine.
I'm too used to V8 engines and the smooth torque curve advantage they have.
