Default Whine from dashboard

I'm new to the forum. I could not see where to post this so I'm posting in General. I hope that is okay.

My 2003 Cruiser makes a whistling (beeping) noise at 72-75 miles per hour but not at any other speed. The local dealership basically refuses to drive it over the speed limit and says that I must contact Chrysler.

Has anybody else heard of this problem?

The noise seems to come from the instrument cluster, but it could be from the windshield. I say that because I once had a Honda Accord which made a loud foghorn noise above 70mph and the dealer immediately knew that the cure was to remove and replace the windshield surround. The PT sound is over a very narrow range of speed, and is wheel speed related (not engine speed). It is not real loud, although it is very annoying when cruising. My high-frequency hearing is not that great, so I don't think I'm being particularly "picky".

Otherwise, I just love the car.
