Wind Harmonics?
When I drive at around 60mph, there seems to be a harmonic noise coming from the left side of the car. It sounds like it's coming either from the front left corner, or from the left A-pillar. It only happens between about 58-62mph, and on sometimes (I guess when the wind conditions are right). It's like a humming noise. It's the weirdest thing. Sometimes it's kind of loud.
Anyone ever experience this before? Or have any ideas of what it is? It's definately caused by air passing through/around/over something, but I have no idea what.

Rep Power: 0 Is there a small vibration and does it get worse or louder as you increase to higher speeds? Also, have you removed the stock side mirror and replaced it with a different mirror? I can't really think of anything else that'd be doing it. About locating the sound...sometimes it's really hard to be 100% sure where a sound is coming from. But yah, I really can't think of anything else that'd cause it. I know I once noticed a weird noise when I had my window down and the air was hitting the seatbelt loop.
Tell me what you don't like about yourself....

Check the outer seal around the front windshield. If it's loose, take it back to the dealership and get them to seal it up for you. The seal on my front windshield was practically coming off. So i took it to my Honda dealership and they had to order in a new piece for the windshield. I had the wierdest noises coming from my vents, but since it has been fixed i havent heard any noises.
I hope that solves your problem.
