On the highway, traveling 65-70 mph, in a crosswind moving from the passenger side to the driver's side, I intermittently experience a very loud and startling raspy whistling noise (Similar to blowing on the edge of a blade of grass held between my two thumbs). Has anyone else encountered this? How did you fix?

I describe the noise as a demented kazoo amplified thru a PA system. It happens in exactly the same situation you describe. At 54,000 miles it is still there, but thankfully the conditions that produce it are infrequent. I have removed all rack components with no change in the noise. If anyone finds a fix, I sure would like to know of it.
