This was probably a "factory" noise. I'll give you the stock BL answer. "Slow
down
or get a better wireless".
All kidding aside, without hearing the noise it is hard to diagnose. If the
top is
up it could be the front rail seat. If down it could be extranious holes or bad
grommets in your firewall or foot wells, bad winshield rubber, wing
mirrors.......... I traced a strange noise down to a crack in my carb heat
shield
once.
