Whenever I hit speeds up to 70-80mph in my 99 Disco the windows or doors start to shake and make low whistling noise. It seems as if my door frame has possibly bent? Anyone else experience something like this. Sorry for the lack of a description.

Could be that you need to adjust your door latches, too. A while back, the striker bolt on my drivers side front door worked itself loose and shifted a little, giving me similar symptoms. I would check that first.

Try what Axel said first, but additionally if this is a D1 (might be the same for D2) - the doors tops are a separate bolt on item and can conecivable come loose/out of alignment. Kind of a PIA to get to the fasteners, but just in case.

Get chunky tyres to drown out the noise with other noise

thanks, All. I'll look into the latches/fasteners.

Are you sure it's the doors? I noticed when I put the cross members on the roof rack it whistles at that speed.
