strange sqeaking noise at high speed >75 mph [S40-V40] S40-V40 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be Volvo user on  Tue Mar 26 14:55 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I hear a strange sqeaking or knocking noise from outside the car on (Rt hand side front passenger seat) only at high speed >75. I checked my tires to see if they were rubbing against any thing but there were no marks on them. I checked the radiator fan in the car but couldn't find anything. I would appreciate if someone who has experienced similar problems share his thoughts with me to solve this problem. Thanks in advance.

    I have heard this before. You will probably notice that the noise comes in at lower speeds if you are heading into a head wind.

    The door seal on the right side is a little loose and begins to vibrate at a high frequency at high speeds and makes the squeeling noise. The door needs to be adjusted. Its possible that the dealer can replace the door seal to correct as well.

    Good luck
    Larry
