I've always noticed the whistle on '70 Barracudas & Cudas. Never knew what it was caused by, but loved it!

Based on remembered history with a buddies one owner '70, we narrowed it down to the gap between the top of the grille lip and the edge of the upper valence. You know, the panel in front of the hood, and the grille. We used some masking tape to try and seal up an area at a time, and IIRC, that was it. On his, at least. Edit; his was a Barracuda ...

You need to try and hook up with someone that has a wind tunnel. Maybe easier said than done, but that could sort it out pretty quick. Or get some Mopar magazine to do the same since the problem is so prevalent??? Hint. Hint.
Believe me, I've thought the same thing. I would kill for 5 minutes in a tunnel as mine whistles and I am pretty sure it's coming from underneath.
Is "tunnel time" even available.....at what cost?

The top side. I'm not totally happy with it yet.
