67 MPH whistle

66-69 mph I get a tea kettle whistle noise throughout the cab. Tried taping the screw holes under the mirrors, checked gutter and awning, no improvement. Anything in the grill or under the hood I should check? Anyone else have this issue? Thanks. Dan

Agreed, we need more detail.

I have a whistling sound coming from the passenger side, but only when I'm driving into the wind just right. Last trip out, that happened to be the ENTIRE trip!! DW was asleep in the back. When she returned to the passenger seat, I threatened to stop and ditch the radio antenna thinking that was causing it, she said it wasn't, it was coming from behind the passenger seat, but in front of the main door. I looked outside the unit, and there are a BUNCH of things it could be, so I gave up for now. I'm hoping it's just that one particular situation that causes it, and it doesn't happen all the time. But we're taking a long trip in a few weeks, two days on the road, if it's still whistling, I'm going hunting...

I'm totally just guessing here, but I think it has something to do with the awning arm. It's certainly the biggest target over on that side of the rig.

I can guarantee that I will find it if it happens on our next adventure! No way I'm going to listen to that for 1400 miles!!

Using a strip of paper or a dollar bill, close it in the door between the door frame and door seal all around the window frame, especially in the upper front corner. Continue all around the frame testing the pressure of the seal contact, you should feel a little resistance as you pull the paper out. Betting the upper front corner is barely, or not touching the seal which can be fixed by a door adjustment. I just did this on my Seneca and it made a world of difference in the noise.

According to DW, it's further back than that, but I'm for sure going to check my door seals anyway!! Thanks for the tip!!

Edit: How did they adjust it?

Whistling Seneca's are resolved by covering each side view mirror's mounting holes with a plug or tape. Unsure of your mirror mounts, but try that if you have mounting holes.

On our 2018 Seneca it was the passenger mirror. The top of the mirror where the mirror is mounted to the bracket, believe it our not it was driving me crazy and all I had at the time was chewing gum LOL it worked!
