Q: My car is making a whistling sound when I drive
When I accelerate in my car it makes a loud whistling sound from the front of my car. I can hear it inside my car even when my windows are rolled up, but if I roll it down the whistle gets louder. It only started happening like a month ago. Its really annoying and I don't know what it could be!
My car has 80000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.

It’s likely either an air leak involving the engine intake, an issue with a rotating pulley (typically in the accessory drive "circuit"), brake squeal due to wear indicators contacting the rotors, or possibly wind related noise due to something going on with a body panel or wind exposed vehicle component. The bottom line is a thorough, professional inspection of the vehicle will get the origin of the noise pinpointed and then resolved.
