I bet if you cap the ends it will quit whistling.
I have the same problem on one of my towers. I have a 1.5 dia pipe as
a standoff and it will make sounds when the wind blows.
I was up there on a windy day once and I could put my hand over the top
of the pipe and it would quit whistling.

A while back, the amateur community talked me into putting a ham antenna on
my highest tower. It is a dual band 2 meter 70 cm DC grounded unit (as per

If the rope goes through that PVC and the wind is blowing, the rope would
move changing the shape inside the pipe or the surface over the ends of the
pipe thus altering the tone.

Wind through that short piece of pvc was my first suspect. But, Bernouli

Could the big stick possibly be vibrating at the frequencies you're hearing?
You sure it's not the wire antenna you're hearing or guy wires or something?
