Default For the love of God where is that wind noise coming from?

94 Cherokee SE at about 50mph I get a wind whistle from the passenger side front. I've checked the windows, the vent louvers. Doors are closed tight. Nothing helps. I would really hate to have to learn to live with it so if there is some secret Ninja Jeep wisdom someone could impart I would be grateful.

Ah...a Jeep variation on the Turn Up The Radio Until You Can't Hear It gambit. The Loud Tires thing is a nice touch...

I'm pretty sure I can eliminate the bumpin sound system as a cause.

Check the seal behind the mirror too. One of the common overlooked seals on doors.

Yeah, door seals are where I was leaning toward too. It's funny how it starts at a few mph's within 50mph.

Door seals it is.
