does anybody else get a funny noise at just above a hundred its sounds a bit like a car horn from the side of the car
sure its wind driving through something but cant tell what
no mud flaps on so can`t be that

i thought it could be the tight space between the spoiler and the boot making a whistle shape

be gutted if its just mine

Yeah
I know the noise, I was told it is either air getting between the window and the rubber or the mirror vibrating. Most probably the window though....
Happened to me today at similar speeds

ive had a look at some past threads it seems most bugeye`s do it and theres not really anything we can do about it
suppose it could be a your going to fast thing from subaru, clever eh

could never get it fixed on warranty

could get used to it if it dident sound so much like a car horn

wakeboarder - I have heard of some people getting the window rubbers replaced under warranty for this.

My my03 wrx does it at 130 so its not just bug eyes.
Scared the **** out of me at first and i thought the drivers door was going to come flying off.
Thing is how can i go back to dealer and tell em to test it n sort it out.
