High pitch whine?

[bmwdude]

get your friend to hang out the window to hear where its comming from.

excellent advice.

Won't it be hard for your human ears to pick up a high pitched whine with wind going around your skull at 25-30mph? That is when the whine starts he sais.....

2004 Darwin Awards: one of the runner ups

A young Canadian man, searching for a way of getting drunk cheaply, because he had no money with which to buy alcohol, mixed gasoline with milk. Not surprisingly, this concoction made him ill, and vomited into the fireplace in his house. The resulting explosion and fire burned his house down, killing both him and his sister.

Well, for an update:

The sound seems to have gone away all by itself. It hasn't done anything since Saturday morning.

I don't know what the f*%k is going on, maybe I was hearing things, who knows.

But to answer the question, I don't think it's engine speed related, just speed related. If I would shift up or down while it was there, it didn't go away.

I guess I'll wait until it comes back to worry about it.

Thanks guys
