Squealing from Rad/vent fan?

Hey. I get a squraling sound coming from either my radiator or vent fan whenever I'm at hiway speed, and recently even if there is a strong wind. Adjusting the vent fan speed has no effect, and it dosen't seem to have any affect on the amount of air coming thru the vents. Does anyone have any ideas?
Cheers,
Kevin.

Kevin,
Have to tried your recirculating air/ fresh air knob ? If its whistling, the flap may be not quite closing completely.

Maybe it is the common wind noise from around the headlights. If you have not already done so, rip off the foam seal on top of the headlights; this quiets much of the sound. I still get some noise and taped all around my headlights to see if it would go away and it did. I have since took the tape off and don't feel like implementing some other less conspicuous seal.

Hey, thanks for the replies. Sorry I'm so late getting back, fire season is going a little long this year. I did try the fresh/recirc. with no luck, and I don't think it would be a belt if it only happens above 80km, or in strong wind. I'm going to try tapeing my lights this week end to see if that's the issue.
