Aircon whistle after filter change

[Stuart02]

Hi All, my mechanic changed the HVAC filter at the last service and now there's a whistling noise coming through the vents. Is this a known thing and is there a fix?

Thanks in advance

I'd be checking that the filter is in correctly and that's it's latched in tight.
You'll need to pull out the glove box as the filter lives behind it.

Yeah time for a fiddle, I think. It's surprisingly annoying.

If that's the pollen filter, mine has been replaced when serviced at LR and I don't get a whistling noise.

thanks - never having looked, I imagined the filter to have a plastic frame of some kind but it is actually just a paper insert, so there's a lot of room to wriggle it, and a good case for gentle handling to get the best fit. I think I've at least reduced the whistling but the filter is definitely a bit squished, probably from the cover being pushed back on.
