    I have a weird high pitched howling sound coming from my car at 65 and 66 mph no lower or higher. It sounds like its coming from the rear but I'm not 100% sure. The car is a 06 sti and its benn happening since I bought the car about 4000 miles ago. Only mods are a TBE and stage 2 map. Any one have any ideas? Thanks in advance

    Wouldn't a wind noise change if its windier out or not? This is very consistant and it never changes pitch. And are the wheel barings a common thing in the sti? I was wondering if it could be something in the rear diff as well.

    I think that wheel bearings are common on most Subarus. Usually the fronts go from spirited driving.:biggrin:

    Ok well ill have to bring it in and have them looked at. Figured something like that would gradually get louder the faster you go. Thanks for the help
