We took off out of YWG today. The weather wasn't the best. We took off using runway 31. Winds were 290 at 20G35 at the time we took off. Moderate rain. It was my first officers leg, he did a great job. During the takeoff roll we heard a noise getting louder and louder. All systems were functional so I elected to continue. The CRJ commonly has the COM panel left open by ground personnel. This causes an annoying hissing sound, but nonetheless, you can continue. This sound however, much much louder. Passing 180 knots we lost the stall system. We determined that it was not the COM panel, and whatever panel it was, it caused a disruption of airflow over the instruments, causing the stall sys failure. We could not continue, the noise was too loud at 180kts, let alone 250+ at higher altitudes. We elected to return to the field. Well, since ORD had bad weather, we had an alternate filed, so we were full of fuel, and pax. We had to burn some fuel to prevent an overweight landing. Since we had time to burn, we elected to commence a low approach and have the tower verify the panel being open. They couldn't notice anything open so we went around and burned off some fuel for 20 minutes. We eventually landed, taxied back to the gate, had the ramepers close the panel and claim it was closed when they pushed us back(yeah right). Refueled and took off to ORD. Honestly, I was very tired by the time we got to ORD. Luckily, I only had one leg today and was off duty once we got to ORD. In case your wondering, we didn't get any tips. No thank you's either. Sheesh.

Then we finally departed again to ORD:

Much better flight path ehh?
