I was carrying out some experiments on my private road the other day, and I noticed a funny noise starts up at an indicated speed of about, err... well quite a bit. It sounds a bit like those plastic pipes that you whirr about in the air and they make a sort of ringing noise.

Anyone else noticed this or is it a case of "They all do that, sir"

 

Mine did this at around 130-140 too, especially with a head wind.

It sounded like blowing across the top of a bottle.

It happened at the ring at exactly the same part of the track every lap.

 

If its a bugeye,yes mine does it.Sounds like wind noise from the wing mirrors to me,but it did alarm me at the time,120 and above.

 

It is a bug eye, yes. I thought it was coming from the wing mirror area, too. and it was that sort of noise you get from a half full bottle. Maybe this is Subaru's little way of saying "are you sure you really want to be going that fast..?"

 

NO way! I was going to post this up yesterday but I forgot! Seems to be above 125mph, scared the hell out of me cos it is extremely loud!!! Sounds like one of the air seals being breached or something.

Edited to say bugeye also
