Whistle? 172

[BREMBO]

This evening I took a 172 out that I'm thinking of buying. However when I went probaly above 70mph there was a whistling noise, the air con was off but when I turned it on the noise stopped.

I know there are various threads about wing mirrors/windscreens but I dont think its related to that.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Is it the same i.e. air con on/off?

Thanks for the above guys, I have searched before posting this up but it seems to relate to the air con.

If its off its whistles almost as if its coming through the vents, turn the air con on the whistle stops.

The only thing I did find when searching is that it may relate to the interior/map light in the roof, supposed small fan which can make an unusual noise sometimes?

Any ideas, not sure if it will be something 'easy' or more complex/£

mine whistles at higher speeds and im sure its the wing mirror, pain in the arse but not unbearable by any stretch and im not wasting time and money trying to find out either

Hmmm very odd. Its a private sale so maybe need to take out for a test drive again. If it is the wing mirror I assume this must be easy to resolve? I do a lot of motorway driving so cant be arsed with a whistle, rattling sunroof in the dci is annoying enough! was hoping to move away from all these squeeks lol

What about that little hole under the n/s wing mirror? If I remember from my Clio, one side had an exterior temp sensor in, the other had just a hole where LHD models have the temp sensor.
