My back door whistles when its windy. Any simple DIY solutions? New house and the wind last night whistling thru the door kept me up all night

Air leakage. Check the door seal and adjust the strike plate to pull the door closer to the seal.

Yep air getting in through a crack. Turn the lights off and have someone go outside with a flashlight, where the light is coming in is the hole in the seal.

Figured out it was coming from the bottom of the door where there's a tiny gap. Trim carpenter said the threshold is adjustable and can be raised up to close the gap and should take care of the issue
