OK, I`m thinking this could be some sort of a wear sensor on the right front brake pads. Squeal/whistle is subtle, but persistent now. Even present when I switch off and coast in neutral, irrespective of clutch in or out. Not really affected by braking. I rememeber some aftermarket pads years ago that had a built-in wear indicator. I don`t think Volvo ever used them, but has anyone ever run into one? I`ve got replacement pads, and I`m at the point of wanting to try them to see if the whistle disappears. Still could be a wheel bearing, but it doesn`t sound like any disgruntled bearing I have ever heard. Closest description I can give now is like a steady, non-pitch changing wind whistle, and it seems to be coming from the right front. Wheel?
