Highway whistle
When we drive our magnum on the highway we hear a whistle in the cabin, We don't know if it it is air passing through somewhere or some type of warning chime in the car. It only happens around highway speeds , 70mph or so, but nothing in town.

check your window seals. Just a glance at them, they may look ok, but if they are creased, they may be getting a slight crimp when the window is up and has a leak just enough that you have to be going fast to hear it.
You can also test it by getting to the speed where you hear the whistle, and then crack each window one by one and see if it goes away for one particular window.
The only other thing that I think that you can check is if the belt is whistling on you. Pop the hood and have someone hold the throttle so the RPMs are around 2 grand and listen there too.

OK,
I found that I have a high whistle at high speeds also, but I found it at the dragstrip...lol. I had the blower motor set on vent and the motor was turning so fast at the end of the strip it was whistling...lol. I closed the vent and the whistle went away....Go figure...
