Whistling sound, similar to wind at 40mph was created by Dingles
I have only owned my 2012 1.3 4wd for one month. When speed reaches approx. 40mph, there is a whistling sound, like a draughty car. If I accelerate away, it disappears.
Am reluctant to contact dealers, feel sheepish.
Any ideas, please?

Strange

Maybe check sills around windows and doors does it go if you open a window?

Is it just at 40? Could be from engine bay?

Difficult to determine when driving.

Anything above 30mph all I can hear is my mud tyres. :)

I had a similar wind noise and on close inspection none of the doors were shutting tight against the seals so a slight adjustment to the catch strikers on each pillar and all is well. It is entirely possible that I will need new seals in due course but for now if I get another few years out of them then all is good.

Now realize, that the start of the whistling starts at 30mph, and continues until 45mph is reached, when it stops.
Only to reappear when driving in the 30-45mph zone.

Did you try with the widow open ? Checked door seals ? Have you got a roof rack? Check in engine bay for any holes in the bulk head?

I cleaned the engine compartment with Gunk, and washed down.
Since that time, no sign of whining.
Problem has gone away. Job done!
