Do you have some felt glued on the inside of the skirt edge? Most folsk end up with felt or fuzzy velcro - somethign to provide a soft seal - to keep down vibration. It also tends to seal things better - might cut down on a whistle.

Paul is correcto again. Sticky back felt, stuck to the skirt. Find the spot & it stops it dead.
