Default whistle while you...drive?

driving in my car yesterday i almost thought i had a supercharger at certain speeds, as my car had a whistle that grew as revs increased. most prominent at around 70mph. any idea what it might be?

never heard of this one before.

the car drove fine, by the way.

thanks for any suggestions.

My deisel trucks do that when the air filters are clogged. Not the same as the diesel turbo whistle. It's a higher pitched whining sound. Not sure if this will help?

Its the window molding. probably the rear where the roof meets the glass. you can tape it to check it.
