This whistle is defiantly speed related. It gets louder and higher
pitched with speed, no change with rpms.
Like Biff said, it could be the "aerodynamics of my fence post caps that
I am using as wheel center caps. But only on 1 wheel?
The antenna is also a new (replaced) addition and I put this on sometime
late last summer too.
Ron said something about this. I will remove it and see what happens. It
sure sounds like it comes from the antenna.
