Strange kazoo like sound from window(just moved home)

Wilkesy91

Hello
Recently bought my first house with my partner. Everything is great apart from a strange kazoo like noise coming from our bedroom window. At a first guess I thought the sealant might just need filling in around the frame and wall where the it meets.

I googled the issue and a lot of people mentioned using draught tape. So bought some was unsure where to put it so popped in the inside of the frame where the window opens, but the noise still persists, where is the noise coming from or how is it made, its similar to a low trumpet sound or a kazoo as others have described it. Pictures below are where iv put the tape if anyone can point out if iv done it incorrectly, I hope I have in a way so I can sort it.

Do you get it all the time or just when it's windy?

It could be anywhere, just use tape to change the shape of things until the noise goes away. I had the same problem with one of my windows, I thought it must be a seal so I tried packing them out, putting tape over them, etc but nothing changed the sound. Then I had some work done on the fascia & soffits & they moved a bit of plastic trim above the window & the noise has gone.

I sometimes get the same sound, I assume its the black rubber seals.

The little discs within the window frame?

Just remembered as well if it's any consultation when the sound appeared the other day I applied a bit of pressure to the top right corner of the frame and it stopped, as soon as I relieved the pressure the sound reappeared so again unsure of its a sealant issue.

Do the windows have moulded strips at the top that open a bit when you slide them towards the right?
