cerealuk Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 hypothetically speaking of course.. if I was to drive the zed at 85-90 mph and hear a whistling sound until I dropped below 85 again.. what would you think it might be ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P15UL T Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 you whistling at 86 mph ?? sorry not helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P15UL T Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 probably the window not going all the way up ? which part of the car does it come from ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narcotix Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Have you checked that you're producing the required 1.21 gigawatts of electricity: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerealuk Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 probably the window not going all the way up ? which part of the car does it come from ? dont think its the window, and kinda hard to tell where its coming from but 85mph seems to be the magic number for it starting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerealuk Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 Have you checked that you're producing the required 1.21 gigawatts of electricity: haha, my flux capacitor is broken so it cant be that causing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yokomo Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 +1 on some sort of window seal issue. i get lots of wind noise from my drivers side due to the window not being seated right. side note i see the pimped out dolorians quite abit due to living down the road from the dolarin owners club !

confuzed Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Yeah I get wind noise and whistling through the top corner of the window of my drivers door, it just doesn't seem to sit right against the rubber to seal properly. I can put my finger in it and the whistling stops! It also happens at higher speeds, like yours. 70 of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerealuk Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 Thanks for the feedback, i shall investigate further.. in my defense... back to the future promotes speeding! not that I ever would of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragus Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Drilled or grooved discs can cause a whistling sound can they not? Do you have these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Maybe he means the electrical whine...which would lead to thinking it might be a grounding issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gervais Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Mine whistles on the drivers side at high leptons, press the window up switch and it stops for a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 This is a common fault, its to do with the window not sealing correctly. Try the window reset procedure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 try some Gummi Pflege. You can find it on ebay. Its a Rubber treatment. Will reduce drag against the glass so window should go up easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerealuk Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 thanks for the suggestions, its certainly not a electrical whine, will fiddle with the windows over the weekend and see if it fixes it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350 Russ Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 my old work van used to have a roof rack that made a whistle when going above 65, not saying you have a roof rack but if you had an aftermarket spoiler maybe? prob is the window, good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogyRev Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Are you sure no one has taped a ref's whistle to your car? I know someone who did that to his boss's car....... took him two weeks to find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P15UL T Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 that is a great idea ...now who dont i like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogyRev Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 apparently... not that I know about this.... the trick is to get the mouth piece in free air and the hole on top of the whistle in "sheltered" air.. kinda tucked away in the grille or air intake but like I say I know nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogyRev Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 oh I forgot to add "it should be mounted horizontally" but I don't know anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
