Car squeals/whines when I hit 85 mph

Topic starter

I bought a used 06 Toyota Avalon XL from a private dealership and it runs very well. 144k miles on it and everything works fine. The only problem is that when I’m on the interstate and I hit 85 mph, the whole car starts squealing and I’m unsure why. The second I go under 85mph it stops. This is the only time this noise ever occurs


Can you (a passenger preferably) please make a YouTube video of the noise and post the link here?

Well, I'd say check the fan belts first. If they're loose, they'll squeal. The only other squealing I've seen was a transmission wearing out. You don't want that.

Something outside the vehicle is catching the wind and vibrating. Look for loose pieces of trim, weatherstrip, panelling etc.


easier fix seems to be to simply not drive over 85 mph. Not to mention it also being easier on the motor, transmission, gas card, brakes...

Check your rear view mirror. You may have a Highway Patrol Vehicle playing some ‘gotcha’ music.😳
