Default a wierd tone

hey i am new here and just wondering if anybody has ever heard of a tone starting up when you get between 55 and 70 mph. i bought the truck last sep and drove from chicago to reno and about a third of the way there i noticed a tone, i dont know if it is the tweeters from the sound system of an alarm but it deffinately sounds like something electrical from a speaker of some sort. not like a whining under the hood and it doesnt happen when i rev the truck or if i let off the accelerator at speeds above 55.

please if anybody has ever heard of this let me know
thanks

I had this same thing happen. Do you have a GPS unit?? My Tom Tom has a speed warning noise. On busier, well known roads it beeps when you go above the speed limit. Sounds stupid, but you said it happens when your above 55. It had me for a few minutes until I turned the radio down to figure out what was going on.

sounds like you just need a noise filter on the stereo wiring.
