I've tried the "search" method, so ...
Having a "howl" from the windshield on my `99 4x4 supercab (all stock except vent-shades on doors).
Occurs between 55-60 and grows louder w/ increased speed.
Seems to be in center of windshield, but when I move my head (ears) closer to center, it seems more right-sided.
Have tried "pressing" around while driving but tricky (dangerous) and to no avail.
Believe I recall some posts about this, but couldn't find anything in my search.
Thanks in advance, Glenn

Get a friend to ride with you to look for the source. Your ventshades could also be the source.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 01-Jan-03 AT 10:35 PM (EST)]Thanks Dennis! And Eric I know what you're saying, but man this thing sounds like a tornado (or twister if you prefer!) - I mean it buzzes, howls, and growls!!! 
PS - I can hear it over my stereo, and I've been asked, on an occasion or two, if I was trying to cause my "ears to bleed" from my music listening habits! haha!
Thanks again - Glenn . . .

Is your antenna stock? Some aftermarket ones will cause a noise. Also check every inch of your weatherstrip for tears or punctures.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 02-Jan-03 AT 07:25 AM (EST)]Yes sir - stock antenna - have been leaning to the weatherstrip possibility myself - though lazy me hasn't gone over it very well though.
I have a notion about how this may have occurred ... I'll keep (those in "ICY" climates might want to stay tuned) `ya posted ...
Thanks, Glenn...

I try to remember to spray my weatherstrip and door area with a little silicone spray during winterizing in order to keep the doors from freezing shut.

I think I follow you on this (? I may have to e-mail you ?).
You're saying to "strike a line" as is done w/ sheetrock (drywall) or in construction in general?
Very interesting concept ...
Thanks, Glenn . . .

Feel free to email me if you need to. What I'm saying is to brush/spray/sprinkle some chalk dust on the weather srtipping all the way around the door, then when you close the door some of the chalk should transfer to the body were the stripping contacts, if it doesn't transfer that could be the spot were you don't have a good seal.
