Re: 2008 Honda Accord Whistle Noise

I recently purchased a 2008 Honda Accord, v6 and really like the car,
but the wind whistle noise is really loud. Before I picked up the car

I had a body shop tell me to slap some duct tape in various places to
determine the source of a whistle on an old truck. I narrowed down the
area that was whistling, and they fixed it.

You might put a strip of duct tape along each of the accessories, and the
roof mount antennas to see if that changes the noise.



I have a 2003 Civic that always had a wind noise, not a whistle, that I
though was poor sealing on the right rear door. The dealer failed to
locate any problem a couple of times when I mentioned it.

Recently, I had someone back into the left side of my car, and I mentioned
the wind noise to the body shop as something I'd like to have fixed, even
if it cost some money. He said that wind nose was common on Hondas from
the fixed window guide between the rear window and the quarter window. He
walked over and pointed out that it wasn't installed correctly.

When they came to pick me up after the body work, the tech commented that
he didn't hear the wind noise before, so he wasn't sure he had fixed it.
As soon as we got up to about 40mph on the way to drop him off, I told him
it was fixed.

My wife noticed it the next day, without me even commenting that I had
anything done in that area.
