So. Yours isnt so bad, i just got one on my silverado thats so loud it sounds like its in the cab, louder than my radio, hell louder than my exhaust. It sounds like a tornado siren and it starts at 40.

WAS having the same problem on my side by side 30 - 40 mph. With no enclosed cab it was ear piercing, deafening loud. $10 for 8 foot of edge trim and it's silent at all speeds. 👍👍

Having same problem on a side by side I just bought. Are you putting trim over the end of the cooling fins or plugging the gap between. Thx!

Do you still have this Jeep? I'm curious if you know what specific wheels you have; I have the same ones and I'm going crazy trying to find one to match for my spare.

Come to find out the whistling is due to the large void at the bottom of the bar. I filled the void with 1/2 x 1/2 foam rubber cut from a mat. Filled from end to end along with door trim on the fins the whistling is gone. I think if you fill the void with black silicone prior to mount this will achieve great results.

Thanks for the video, especially the part where you showed the sound inside the Jeep. That's EXACTLY what mine sounds like. I thought it was engine noise through the speakers. I bought a JK while I'm over working in Dubai so shopping for stuff is a bit different but today's mission is to find that door trim. Does it stay on or do you have to reapply after awhile?

Holy shit, going to the store today to try this. I thought it was the actual trim lining that was causing it, but the light bar makes way more sense. Thank you

Thank you so much. Easy to do and fairly cheap. I was warned about the whistling but thought it was a rare thing.... NOPE! I ended up putting the edge trim on 6 fins. I tried at 2 but it didn't go away. Seemed like the fins that were level or below windshield frame needed to be covered. The fins that are above windshield frame are not covered but whistling is completely gone. Thanks again.

That Howling issue would sound like a Whistling Kettle or you might think it might be something in the engine bay area, I have seen where they just put rubber door trim across the fins and it Fixes the problem.

I bought plastic cable conduit and cut about a centimeter off where the long opening is. Then I opened it up and pushed it onto the back of the lightbar as tight as wide open as the long opening would get. I employed two zip ties to hold the conduit on the back of the lightbar. The lightbar has been operating quietly since 2011. Should your Jeep be equipped with a soft top and soft half doors, you will appreciate investing in a new set of Bestop upper door sliders.

By adding that trim piece you're just changing the way the air is going under the light bar. Its like wrapping a bungee chord around a square roof bar. Just breaking the air flow.

Simple fix guy buy thick door trim that's double sided bring your light bar out put the foam trim right around the rubber on your windshield double it up then push light bar back on it nothing worked tried everything but this was a game changer no whistle at all gotta stop the air from the bottom. It's not the light bar fins making the noise
