Default High Pitch Whistling Noise

I have a whistling noise that resembles a vacuum leak under my dash on the passenger side. The more I accelerate the louder it gets. It happens with or without the A/C being on so I think I have that ruled out. Any recommendations are appreciated.

I have heard the same whistling noise , on windy days , and while travelling at higher speeds the noise is very noticeable. I have put it on the windshield wipers , while stationary, and driving at speed limits , they rub onto and slightlly move against windshield, just put whipers on and spray windshield , see if sound goes away this semmed to help me get rid off very annoying noise while driving. Again I belive it is windshield whipers rubbing on windshield while in resting postition, wind , moves them and they rub against window....

I have a high pitched noise as well but mine comes and goes by the angle of the gas pedal so I'm guessing it's electrical noise. If I have the pedal at the sweet spot (which just happens to be 95% of driving conditions) i get a high pitched whistle. Hard to explain but very annoying and definetly not coming from the mirrors as it happens at 10mph the same as at 80mph.

Have you turned your radio off to see if it's electrical interference coming through the speakers?

If you modified your intake, than you will hear the whistling noise from the passenger door/fender area. Just your door is from door handles. Under dash is you AC/Air circulation unit. Engine bay is probably whistling from your bumper or grill. I think everyone is familiar with the whistling from the windshield edge as it is usually mistaken for side mirrors. Although on a truck with large mirrors, you can hear the wind make gushing noises from the side mirrors.
There is a really nice stretch of new blacktop on the 22fwy and you can hear every little squeak, rattle, and roll from the truck.

Yup, it isn't coming through the speakers. I'm stumped and don't want to rip the whole dash apart to find it when i'm almost positive there is no way to fix it.

I have the same exact noise - not from the mirrors, radio, door handles or other common locations. It comes from underneath the dash and varies with throttle angle. The dealer of course could not find the problem. Most of the techs couldn't even hear it because they are deaf from running their airtools all day long. I'll probably start pulling things apart myself - screw the warranty.

My TRD CAI whistles at the right throttle. It's subtle, but it's there.

I'm not suprised that they couldn't hear it, I think I'm just super sensitive to it now. It is really high pitched and with the radio on it covers it up well. But I am convinced it has something to do with the gas pedal angle because all i have to do is vary it either in or out a tiny bit more and it's gone. Damn drive by wire systems. At least I'm assuming it is DBW.

Mine definitely varies with the throttle. I'm taking mine in for service here shortly, all I can do is ask the techs.....Wish me luck.

Definitely sounds like you guys are referring to the intake whistle. It is definitely more apparent if you have an aftermarket intake installed.

The location of the whistle seems to be the passenger right side footwell, slightly below the dash. I think there is a rubber grommet where all the electrical comes into the passenger compartment in that general location so the whistle from the intake which is in the passenger side front fender comes into the passenger compartment.

Here is a test you can try. Remove your intake filter and drive it around the block. That whistling you are referring to should increase tenfold. If it wasn't the intake, keep searching.

Already tried that - I have the stock airbox with a trd drop in filter. Putting it back completely to stock didn't make any difference.

Has anyone checked if there are any vacuum lines going into the cab which could be leaking?

I have the same noise and it is coming from under the pass side dash. It goes away when I put it on fresh air. I have not tried the wipers yet but it is definetly wind noise and annoying. I have removed both glove boxes to see if I can pinpoint the noise but still checking. I know it is wind noise cause it happens all the time wether the ac is on or off

Ok. I found it and fixed the annoying wind noise. Finally. So here it is. On the door for the fresh and recirc is the source of the leak. On the left side of the door I put some adhesive foam under the hinge on the inside of the case. I am really sorry for no pics. But I had to put it together while my wife was driving
