Topic: Is it normal for your car to make a whistling noise when you reach 90MPH?
Anonymous A started this discussion 14 years ago #19,106
I have noticed that when I reach maybe 85+ miles per hour in my car I hear a kind of high pitched whistling noise. As I accelerate up to 100-110 that is when the noise becomes more loud and vivid. This is the kind of sound one might associate with a gearbox problem, but I only hear it when reaching these speeds so I doubt it?Anonymous B joined in and replied with this 14 years ago, 16 minutes later[^] [v] #314,629
It's a common problem usually associated with painted brake calipers. I'd recommend removing the paint via lasers and the molestation of children.

Maybe someone painted them while you were conducting some research at the local glory hole.

Beware if the whistle starts breaking into the tune of Dixie.

Cars shouldn't make strange noises when driven at speeds the car is capable of. Why is everyone incompetent?

Recently or has it always been that way? Do you mean the Turbo wind up or is it a distinct whistle?
