There is an arrow on top of the bar. Make sure it is facing forward. Somewhere I read if you put them on backwards, that would happen.

Do you have them installed with the arrow pointing in the right direction? Do you have them tightened sufficiently? Mine are silent at all speeds.

No increase in cab noise but anytime you increase airflow either into or in this case out of the motor it will increase whistle noise. On my 2000 with just this system and no other mods whistle was more noticeable but not extreme. However this system really works best with a good quality intake to feed the turbo and at that point, there is quite a bit of whistle. hope that helped

I have this light on my 2008 JK Unlimited and it whistles like crazy. I installed door ding rubber bumper on the fins and it went away. My light bar also filled with water during a a heavy rain. I will silicone the next one.

It was just like a few decibels above a VW Beetle horn. A loud VW horn. Any of the sounds you mentioned would have made me happy. The stock horns on my 64 Chev. truck drowned them out.

On my 06 it made them blink fast like there was a blown bulb. I had to get and load equalizer from autozone to solve the issue.

The cable connecting throttle to blade engagement bar is too loose. Try to pull it with your hand when engine is on. If blades start spinning - that's the problem. To fix that adjust cable length on the perforated braket under rubber cover located on the cable.Hope that helps...

No whistling noise on mine. I'm guessing you have one that may be defective. If you used the washer that came with it, I'd try pulling that out first.

The electronics in the throttle are not potted. I had issues, stuttering & surges, after a rainstorm. After 10 minutes or so it dried out, & returned to normal function. Try to keep your throttle dry. The other potential problem is that the 3 phase power leads & hall effect sensor wires enter the hub motor thru the hollow axle, the last 1/2 inch or so of the hollow axle is slotted forming a U channel so that the wires exit the side rather then the end of the axle, which does help to protect the wires in the event the bike were to be dropped. The problem is Prodeco mounts the U channel facing up so what rain can enter the motor housing. If the wiring harness of the axle was longer, the axle could be installed with that U channel down with a proper drip loop for the wires.

I haven't had that problem. I have been up to 70 mph on the freeway and no trouble. The noise from a soft top at that speed would cover up any noise, but the seal seems good anyway.

Not sure ours bit the dust a month after installing it. Might try disconnecting power for ten seconds or so! If you don't have the manual hear is a link to it. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/StaticFiles/Manuals/Car/DEH-1200MP_OwnersManual1015.pdf As I recall the manual was not much help.

Gee, I must have gotten the bad one. At 40 mph or higher it sounded like a loud bee hive up there. The front top lip would vibrate causing the noise -- I could see it though the sun roof). While I tried a strap on it (I don't know why) the strap then made the noise. I've ordered a more expensive and different brand which I will review (good or bad) sometime after June 8, 2015.

RPM unknownI would say light breeze or you will have noise. Subjective answer.Buy it and return it if it doesn't suit your rpm requirements.

Not sure of your question. I have installed only mine per instructions and do get some wind noise at higher speeds. I don't leave them on car unless I'm hauling my ski box.

i changed my oem's because of the noise. i used the same brake kit, my car is silent.

Since no one else mentioned it, the cord on these earplugs amplifies the wind noise. It sounds like the wind howling outside a window but inside your head. They work fine for me inside a shop but I think it would be annoying if you used them for outside activities, especially riding.

I have a full face, but I imagine the wind noise with the boom mic might be too loud. When I am traveling on the freeway at 65 to 70 MPH, the wind noise for whomever I am talking to can loud at times. The speakers on the inside would probably still sound pretty good. This is just my opinion mind you.

I installed it without the wind deflector and it's pretty noisy on my car. I'm going to install the deflector and see if it quiets it down any.
