We went on holidays with our X-Trail. We own the car for a few months, we always drive short distances, some highway, some city. Never faster than, lets say 120 km/u. But... in Germany we drove sometimes more than 160 km/u (80-90 miles?)
First we thought it was the radio/air vent or something else. Than we discovered it seems to be an irritating, whistling noise, located in the middle of the dash, where the font winshield stops. My wife put her ear against it and it seems to come out of the middle-console. You here it soflty at 120 km/u and becomes louder when you drive faster. Anybody has an idea where it comes from or more important: how the solve this noise?

Your Xtrail has a vent in the middle console storage area that pipes air from the air con. The air flow can be affected by what settings your heater blower is on. There are vents in the two front cupholders too. Try closing off the central console vent - its a sliding flap, inside the box on the top surface...
