I have a DV8 lightbar mount:
https://dv8offroad.com/collections/...ckets/products/52-inch-bronco-light-bar-mount

I put door molding on the top and bottom cooling fins, but there's still whistling.

I put door molding on the top and bottom cooling fins, but not much improvement.

Does anyone have this lightbar mount? If yes, did you fix the whistling?

I'm open to any suggestions to help stop, other than removing the mount and light completely because I think it looks really cool.

Does look cool but this is why I don't do lightbars, have a hard enough time fixing my rattles. A pillar and bumper can put out plenty of light without noise.

I second the ditch the tree catcher. However, you could have a housing 3D printed to make it more aerodynamic. Bricks flying through the atmosphere don't spoil wind very well.

Any chance you could mount it on the top of the front bumper?

I probably could, but I like how aesthetic it is. I added molding to another cooling fin, hope it helps.

All you need is a little patience. As you get older your hearing will go to shit, and you won't hear stuff like "whistles" (what whistles!?), rattles (what rattles!?), no need for "better sound system", and when your significant other is in the bitchy mood,......no problem. Just smile and say: "Yes Honey". It works, trust me.

Join the military. Travel to exotic, distant lands, meet interesting people (and kill them), lose your hearing, and bring back another bride. Rather simple.
Good to know I have options 🙏🏾

I added another strip of molding on the center fin and angled the bar upward.

I think it helped, will drive around more after dinner.

How much is damper?
