2002 Bounder whistles

Hi, new to the club! Hey, we have a 2002 Fleetood Bounder that whistles up by the driver's area near the windshield when going 45 mph or more. Hubby has checked a lot of different things to no avail. I seems like it is coming from the top left outside of the motorhome near the windshield-driver's side. Any ideas we can check before our trip coming up? It is very bothersome!

Also check and cover with tape, the drain holes at the bottom of the driver's side window frame. These are a known issue and plastic covers are available online for most windows. If covering them with tape works, be sure to remove the tape before the next rain.

Sounds crazy, but I have heard of Bounder owner's complaining of the whistle sound coming from the round tubes on the grill. If your Bounder has the round tubes at grill, others have suggested removing the end caps and place sand in them to deaden the sound.

might be the front of the awning roll roll if you have one.

Make sure there is not a gap between the windshield and frame.
It only takes a small gap.
Check the clearance lights to make sure they are sealed.
Caulking will seal it, at least temporarily.
Put a piece of duct tape over the windshiled/frame area and drive it. If it helps, caulk the area.
DO NOT leave the duct tape on. Remove it as soon as the test is finished.
And don't use silicone caulk.
