Default high frequency wind sound at low gears

I have a 2002 Accord Coupe VTEC 2.3L and I have noticed that when I start driving it has this high frequency wind sound that increases in frequency with higher RPM. It almost sounds like wind being sucked in and making almost a howling sound. Is this normal for these Accords or could there be a problem with the car?

sounds like you got some kind of wind noise........

you might want to tape part of the area where you think the noise is at and test drive the car ....or if you have a leaf blower you can use it to blow in the area where you the noise , you will need an assistant ,, so while 1 of you uses the blowwer the other can locate the area of the noise ,,
have you done any windshield work ?? window work ? door moldings ?

two things that i have seen cause that easily is a throttle body spacer (worthless piece of crap they are....) and a SRI or CAI intake.... do you have either of those?
