It's a MCS purchased new 05/07/07 with A/C.

The sound comes from the area of the heater controls when I have the A/C off, and the air flow directed to the windscreen and the fan on 1st click. It only starts at 85-90 MPH and gets worse as the speed increases. As I reduce speed so the noise reduces, and stops once i get to 80mph.

The noise is high pitched......almost like a whistle!

Very annoying, maybe the car has a built in sensor to stop it going above the speed limit!

Its trying to tell you to slow down.
