Title: humming sound on prevost...any ideas
Post by: statedrive on August 07, 2008, 05:44:49 PM
on a trip to Florida my prevost started to make a sound ( like blowing across an empty soda bottle)
and it has to be air flowing over something because when a truck passes us, it goes away for a short time
any body ever experience this   thanks  dave

Our's makes a humming noise also, but only when traveling in a Northwesterly direction at 53 MPH and the wind is out of the Southwest at 5 to 7 MPH. Or was that Southeast at 10MPH? ??? ???
Actually, it was a very small gap where they ran front compressor lines through the fire wall to the condensor mounted in the space behind the front bumper. I used spray foam to seal everything and the noise went away. Good luck. Noises can be annoying when on the road,  :D

Yes, I have heard of this happening before. In fact, there was a guy who posted the exact same question just this morning.    Oh wait, ... that was YOU.

I think it's just a hummer, that's all there is to it.
