is it only at low RPM say like 1-2?
I just had to get a recall for something that sounded similar. apparently on mine an O ring or seal broke, causing this whistling noise.

I took that video a month ago to get the sounds recorded. Showed it to my dealer and within a few mins he came back and told me about the recall.
Took 3 hours to have replaced and they had to order the parts

Maxximus...thanks for the info. You would think by '11 they would have a fix by now without a recall.
Mine might be alittle different although sounds somewhat fimilar to your vid......but again it seems that mine only happens when I first start the car or after it's been sitting for awhile and then restart it. It does go away after 5 seconds and the rest of the time it doesn't whistle. Unless...my is just in the beginning stages and might get worse. I called my service manager at my dealer today and he said to change the pollen filter. I haven't changed it since I bought the car 3.5 years ago but I figured I only have 8k miles and it wouldn't be dirty. He said it might still be dirty just sitting around so I ordered one at Advanced Auto (won't arrive til next week). Tonight I opened the pollen filter and found it to be pretty clean so not sure if it's the polllen filter. I'll monitor it for the next few days even after the new filter arrives and if it does happen again...I'll need to bring it to the dealer.
Maxximus and Frogdogman....is your whistling coming from the air conditioning also or even without air it's still whistling at low RPMs? Just curious.....
Frogdogman......let us know what your dealer finds in your case!
Thanks!

I haven't tried it without the A/C on...especially with this weather! I can't really tell where it's coming from, but it seems to be on the left side either under the hood or in the dash. It is VERY high-pitched, just short of a dog whistle. When I accelerate a bit and then let up slightly is when it's most frequent.
Off topic: I drove past another XKR175 on Sunday morning. Pretty big coincidence considering there are only a few in the whole state.

That's pretty cool....driving by another XKR175....you should have given him the thumbs up (when I had my Vette....we would always wave to each other whenever another Vette passes by on the road....the unwritten Corvette custom).
Are you going to the Supercar Saturdays on Aug 6? I think I'm 90% sure I'm going to try to make this one. Too bad they change their location to the Promenade in Bollingbrook. I wish it was still at the Arboretum in South Barrington.....something must have happened for them to switch.

I did go to Autobahn CC recently for an AMG promo event. Way too crowded; the lines to take one lap were way too long. I wanted to try out the 2012 CLS63, but didn't want to wait an hour, so I only drove the C63. Plus, after doing the Jaguar Performance Driving Academy, this event seemed lame.
Stay safe with the storms. My neighbor lost part of his roof the other week and our ponds overflowed on Friday. There were frogs everywhere!
Oops...derailing the thread! I will let everyone know what I find out about the whistling.

I cranked up the volume to the max on my PC speakers (really loud ) but still couldn't hear a whistle. I guess that's one benefit of old age - can't hear the high frequencies any more. But my wife says that's not all I can't hear...

Ya'll need to get your terms correct. You start calling stuff a recall and youll get a blank look cause there are few recalls. But many tsbs(jag tech service bulletins)
if the noise is the same ask them to refferance JTB00207
which involves evacuating ac system and installing a spacer in the refrigerant pipe, and recharging. At low engine speeds and certain abient temps, the ac system can produce a whistling noise as the freon negotiates the turn in the pipe at the firewall.....I better see some thankyous on this one

So I got it to work while filming just now. I pulled out of the garage with the AC on and then I put it in park in the driveway. You then can hear the whistle at 00:28 for a second and that was it. Drove it at low speeds and no whistling....just that one time at 28 sec mark. Any ideas? TIA!
