Hi JayM2,

The area where the noise is coming from on yours is similar to mine!

I will try to describe it: -

If you imagine a wind tunnel with a piece of springy metal hanging inside which oscillates and emits an almost musical tone, that increases it pitch as the air flow increases.

Then that would describe what I can hear. The noise starts at lower speeds if there is a head or cross wind.

Cheers,

caesar
