Hi Purplemadboy, I don't have roof rails fitted, have just bought some but have not fitted them yet! I've listened carefully with each window open and each door open a little and the noise doesn't change, doesn't sound like it's coming from outside. Sounds like it's inside the dash but I can't 'feel' any air coming in, the 'tone' changes slightly with road direction or wind direction! thanks, Martin. |

Once had a vehicle that did the same, couldn't find the source till I had a piece of paper on the dash, notice when I went over 30mph it would start to lift, at 45 it would lift and float to the floor, was found that there was an area with no sealant at the bottom of the windscreen. Worth checking. |

I don't knoe how practical this is but I watched wheeler dealers ages ago and what the guy did on that show to see if there was a "draught" in the car was to put some kind of smoke bomb in the car to pin point the "draughts " where abouts. Do it now ! Your a long time dead !! |

+1 for the windscreen. I also had a problem with a replacement screen that whistled and had to be refitted |

My windscreen has the 'Land Rover' markings on it, so I'm thinking it's the original, is that correct? thanks... |

Yes Marty, the sealant used in the bonding of the screen, usually along the bottom seems to be the area where the problem can be.

I'll check it, I was reading elsewhere that I can tape it up on the outside with masking tape to see if it's the problem... |

I've had one windscreen (flying stone chip) and one rear screen (Easter egg robbery!) replaced on my FL2, both by Autoglass, and both were LR replacements. No problems on mine though. |

Found (by accident!) the solution to my problem; there are two small threaded holes on the roof of the car near the front, used for attaching roof rails, these would normally have plastic caps/bungs in them, these were missing and causing the hole to act like a whistle as the air passed over it. I fitted new roof rails at the weekend utilizing these holes and so the 'whistling' noise in the car has completely gone |

yes, I've heard that, irony is I was going to hold off fitting the new roof rails until I solved the 'whistle'....might never have found the problem |
