Odyssey Loud Wind Whistle!
HELP! We just got back from a Christmas vacation and were almost
driven out of our minds with a very loud wind whistle at speeds over
50, particularly with head or side winds blowing - which we
encountered all the way to our destination! We could not listen to the
radio or CDs because of the noise.
We have a 2002 Honda Odyssey EX purchased in March 2002. The problem
has always been with this vehicle (our 2000 Odyssey did not have the
problem!)
The whistle (read loud NOISE) is a flute-like "Whoooooooooooo" at what
we estimate to be a pitch of about "G" above "Middle C" appearing to
come from the driver's pillar between the driver's window and the
windshield.
As I said, it really gets going at speeds over 50 with a head or side
wind. The only way we could get to stop was to open the driver's
window about 2". Not too good in cold weather.
I have tried duct tape over almost all possible cracks and crevasses
along the door opening, side-view mirror, and under the hood on that
side of the car - all to no avail.
Has anyone had a similar problem? Were you able to fix it?
I'm sure the local Honda dealer would have a field day with this
problem! I'll try to stay away from them if at all possible!
