Whistling from H+R springs?

Just wondering if anyone out there has experienced a whistling sound after installing H+R springs in their car? I Installed my springs about 3 months ago and have experienced the noise ever since. The noise doesn't sound like a rubber on metal noise. It sounds like an old car antenna in the wind. It sounds like it's coming from the upper strut area. I've triple checked everything and can find nothing wrong. Any possible answers?

This has never been posted here. I can't imagine what the noise sounds like, but who did the install?

It seems to happen at all speeds although it is more noticeable at slower speeds due to less road noise. I did the install and I have done a good amount of suspension work in the past. I thought it may be the coils rubbing against the rubber pieces that they seat against so I put a little graphite powder... no help.

You could try having a friend drive next to you and try and have someone locate the sound location from outside the car...

Good idea... the noise is so faint that i'm afraid it will be difficult to detect. I will give that a shot though.
