Not willing to deal with that to save a couple pounds. Working theory is there's so much less resistance to flow that it's pulling air quickly enough to cause the whistle. Trying some things with tape to see if reducing flow through the filters might make the whistle go away. It was whistling above setting number 2 with no tape, now it doesn't whistle until 4 with them about half-blocked. Whistle filter deletes go woo woo

Such a good video!

I have never gotten any whistling from them, and I use the defrost a lot.
