help identifying strange noise...

I need some help trying to figure out what my noise is...

When i get to about 15 mph i hear a faint high pitched whining noise... it starts suddenly and continues until the wind noise drowns it out. It is not loud, but is noticeable. It is hard to tell, but it doesn't seem to change pitch with speed.

I can't tell which side it is coming from. The fiance said it sounded like it was coming from the passenger side, and to me it sounded like it was coming from the drivers side but either way it is coming from the front......

It has been doing this since i bought it used this summer. It might have a slight pulse to it... sounds like weeyeeyeeyeeyeeyeeyeey...

Once i go below 15 it stops again.

Any ideas?

Hi Justin....if you had the 6.0 I'd tell you that you're hearing your cooling fan.

When these things kick in, it has an odd howl to it. I honestly don't know about the V10s Pal.

Good Luck!

Joe

thanks Joe,

A friend of mine suggested that it could be wind noise. He recommended wraping the front with plastic wrap to see if it eliminates it. I'll give it a try when i have time. (probably sometime in the summer of 2015...)
