Anyone have buzzing noise when wet conditons?

[jr]

Hi,

I have a 2003 Forester that emits a faint buzzing noise when it is
raining or wet snow.

Sounds like the remote lock buzzer but not as loud, and sounds like it
is coming from under the radiator area, about where that remote entry
buzzer is located, I think.

Anyone else ever have this issue. I pretty much ignored it when it was
happening a couple of years ago, and it did go away. But it has come
back.

Thanks,
Bob

It's possibly tire noise, particularly if you have snow tires.

I was on a freeway last week and heard a high pitched shriek that
sounded exactly like wind noise from an improperly closed window. Got
quite frustrated trying to pin it down but then when I changed lanes
to a slightly different surface the noise disappeared. Went back,
noise reappeared.

A wild guess...cat heatshield?
Mine did that...more a high pitched rattle.
