Default Howling noise from nose vent

Probably what's happening is that the weather sealing around the vent

checked the sealing of the vent when it's closed?

I'll check that seal if I can. I'm going to try an re-create the
issue on the ground with a shop vac or leaf blower. Of course I might
not be able to hear the vent noise over the motor then :-)

It's not the canopy seal. That used to whistle right by my ear until
I replaced the seal and added foam.

Thanks
