850, strange sound only when turning to the right!

Hi,
May be someone had had the same experience with volvo 850 from 1995 (v10).
The problem is that when I turn to the right a strange sound come from the
front of the car and it fades out when I drive strait again. It happens
after 10 minutes of highway driving or when the car is worm. Its very hard
to exactly locate the source of it and its much harder to describe it. The
'sound' sounds like a football whistle but much softer.

Anybody has an idea?

thanks in advance.

 

"...when the car is worm." ? digging in the ground? ;-)

If the sound is oscillating like a teacher's whistle look under the
car around the nose section and wheel wells for loose or missing
fasterners or tabs holding the various plastic panels and covers.
These will flap in the wind and create sounds like you describe. The
turning of the wheel might make the air deflect differently causing it
to happen.
