It's happening at 'around town' speeds. As you accelerate, the whistling increases proportional to speed. Radio can overcome but it's quite annoying. Maybe this was JLRs adaptive way to have an external pedestrian alert/warning system?I have the OEM racks, and I haven’t noticed any whistling up to speeds of 85 mph on the highway. Does it only occur at a specific speed and then disappears once that speed is exceeded?
I don’t experience any whistling noise from my racks around town.It's happening at 'around town' speeds. As you accelerate, the whistling increases proportional to speed.

Thanks - and assume your setup looks same as mine in photo? With designed gap?I don’t experience any whistling noise from my racks around town.
Yes, same setup and gap. Did you install the rubber strip that runs the entire length of the top channel in each bar? If you did, then it’s odd that your racks whistle and mine don’t. You can try squeezing foam padding into the gaps, perhaps using inexpensive pipe insulation. Even if it blows off you’re I-Pace, it won’t harm anyone.Thanks - and assume your setup looks same as mine in photo? With designed gap?
