I have a bug shield and it doesn't cause a whistle. It does cause a clicking noise at interstate speeds sometimes but that is coming from the rubber strips that cover the hood hinges. But I'm going to have to go with hirdlej on this and say it's probably causing it.(-off topic-in the video clip, I like how that guy flies though that stop sign in that pimped out supra----stupidity got to love it)

Then take a razor blade and trim/scrape the excess off. Works like a charm and no more whistle
cool that does make sense thanks

I've read that bug shield TSB, makes perfect sense that that's the noise described
