'whistling' front door

[tcooper318]

notice in strong winds, that our UPVC front door makes 'whistling' and 'woooing' sounds. Quite scarey sounding for my youngsters at night!

Wonder what could be causing it? could the alignment of the door changed? And if so, is it easy to readjust?

I'm no DIY expert, does this need a tradesman to fix?

Cheers

Do you think it might be a ghost

Seriously, I had similar problems with UPVC windows.

It was all to do with the trim.

The guy who fitted it came back and added some little plastic ramps to the inside of the frame so that when the window was shut it pulled it up nice and snug.

The noise is likely to be caused by a very tiny gap - invisble to the eye. Attempting to adjust it may lead to making the gap bigger/out of alignment?

Hope it helps

when my door whistles i push the handle up which engages all the shoot bolts ect pulling the door tight shut
down side tighter than normal people somtimes think we are out due to being tighter than normal

I am having the same problem with my upvc front door.

I have added draught proofing foam but am still getting the most horrendous whistling when it is windy.

Any ideas would be appreciated as it is driving me and the wife crazy (and the dog )

Thanks
