High speed driving road noise ... Help
Hi guys I have a 09 mini cooper 6spd, 59k miles, stock.
So today I was on the autobahn going between 110-120 mph and every time I reached 110mph the car would imedately make a really loud humming noise .. Sounded like a humm/whistle.. It was coming from the front driver side corner area ..just wanted to know ideas on what it can be?
The tires are 175/?/15 Yokohamas pretty new( H speed rating ).
And under 110mph the car is quiet , but once I hit 110 and above the noise automatically kicks in .. Any ideas??
Thanks for your time .

I would suggest that you do some experimentation with some duct tape. At times the "A" pillars will make a whistle. If you run a strip of tape on them and the whistle goes away you've found the culprit.
