Whistle while you work, have a dwarf whistling on higher speeds

Okay here offsets the scenario

Just purchased an EX.
There is a whistle that starts about 65 mph
Sounds to be coming from the front but can't tell exactly where

Anyone have a whistle

Just turbo whistle for me...

Anything unusual about the front of the Ex? Bumper, Bug Deflector, Light Bar, Other...?

At times I used to have a whistle that sounded like it came from the driver's side pillar area. Like wind whistle... Hasn't happened the last few weeks.

Looking back my driver's door weather stripping was torn off around Christmas as I forced it open while frozen. After I reinstalled the whistling was gone - so maybe check your door seals?

Edit - my whistle was also only at freeway speeds - 60 mph +

What age is the dwarf? Have you tried going through a carwash that has the "Hot Wax" and everything? That might be enough to get him/her to let go of the front or at least stop with the damn whistling.

At that speed it may be the doors pulling away from the seals just enough to whistle. Maybe look into the seal mod or replace them.

My wife's Taurus started a whistle at about that same speed, I put a strip of electrical tape around the windshield seal to test. That cured it so I took the tape off and used clear silicone sealer for a more permanent fix.

I recently replaced the original antenna with a new one that does not have ste spiral on it and it whistles at around 60-65 mph.

Oh God give me patience, oh wait patience by guns and roses.... That's good whistling

Back to the program, I did get a little whistle from my previous tow mirrors (they were not OEM).
