I've got a slight whistling noise somewhere around both front doors on my 99 Altima when driving around 80 km/h. Has anyone else noticed this and been able to pinpoint the cause? I've taped over the seal around the window, and between the door and the pillars/roof, but it's still there. I just taped around the plastic guide on the leading edge of the window in case it's from the air rushing around that thing, so I'll see tomorrow if that helps. I'd like to figure this one out because the cabin is otherwise really quiet.
Anyone got whistling wind noise in 2nd gen Altima?

It was the mirrors on my Primera. I taped over the swivel joint, and partly covered a drain slot underneath. Silence.
It might be from the mirrors where the joint is that lets the mirror swing back if hit (do they still do that?). Try putting some plastic tape around that joint and take a ride. If the noise stops, then you know what it is and can take steps to silence it. What you do is up to you (caulk, silicone, tape?).
I'm pretty sure the mirrors are stationary on the 99... My 94 has folding ones (and no noise). I'll check that in the morning though, thanks for the suggestion!
