I get a whistling sound on the driver's side when going past 50mph. Does anyone know what causes this? Do I need a new weather strip around my window? Somebody please help, this sound is annoying.

 

Couple things cause that:

1) You have a CAI
2) Your brakes are going
3) You have an early model 4th Gen and its your mirrors...

 

Well it's a 1997 GXE, I don't have a CAI and I just got new brakes. I was thinking it could be the weather stripping around the window. Anyone have an answer?

 

Well, since you just got new brakes, new brakes have a coating on them that takes about 1-2 weeks to wear off. This coating does weird stuff, ie. squeaking, odd braking, etc. This could be your answer. But give your brakes some time to see if they calm down.

 

The first thing to do is determine the source of the sound. Equip yourself
with a 4-foot length of small-diameter rubber vacuum hose. Auto parts
stores usually sell this in bulk at US$0.50 per foot. Have an assistant
drive, leaving you free to search for the objectionable whistling sound.
Put one end of the hose in your ear and pass the other end all around the
periphery of each door. You will discover where the whistling is loudest.
There may be more than one area which requires attention.

After this road test is concluded, open the door(s) which exhibit a
whistling. Examine the weatherstrip in the identified "loud" locations.
If it has come away from the body metal, use weatherstrip cement to reattach
it. If it is securely in place, examine it for damage and apply whatever
remedy seems appropriate (see below).

You may be able to replace short segments with new weatherstrip purchased
from the dealer or a local auto upholstery and trim shop.

You may be able to bolster the existing weatherstrip by cementing a strip
of generic foam weatherstrip beside the factory rubber. You can buy
inexpensive generic material at a home improvement superstore (Home Depot,
etc.).

You may be able to build up small damaged areas of factory weatherstrip with
one or more layers of black silicone rubber RTV caulking.
