Did you have your windshield replaced?
I had the whistling problem after the 2nd windshield replacement (rocks kicked up by another vehicle).
Spoke to Walter at Right Solution, and he knew exactly what it was. Each time the windshield is replaced, they typically don't clean up the existing blue very well (if at all) and just add more glue. By the 2nd replacement, the glue layer had gotten quite a bit thicker, causing a wind tunnel type of effect around the edge of the windshield.
To see if this was the problem, I put small pieces of paper in the edges of the windshield in a few spots, and the sound changed. That pretty much confirmed the problem, and I had the windshield re-installed, this time having them remove all the old glue.
Problem gone!
