Default Musical Jacket

I just bought a Joe Rocket Atomic 2.0 jacket and between about 38 mph and 80 mph (any faster and I can't hear it) the jacket makes a high pitched whistle! It is so loud that it is annoying. I can handle the sound of wind at 75 mph but not the damn whistling!

Has anyone else experienced this type of thing?

I've never heard of a JACKET making a whistling noise... just helmets (usually from a lack of good seal, usually fixed with minor adjustment). Wierd.

Yeah, I've riden without the jacket and the whistling is still there. I've emailed Joe Rocket but no reply yet. Seems like the whistling is coming from the right side and up high.

You are right though. It is weird.

Um... if you have ridden without said jacket, wouldn't that remove the jacket from the equation? Not trying to be an ***, but it isn't your jacket and JR won't help. Your helmet on the other hand....
