Default Funny noise from 110mph on MY06WRX

My MY06 WRX is producing a noise very similar to someone running their finger aroung the edge of a wine glass (akin to a high pitched resonance) at speeds of 110+. I think it's coming from the drivers side window (perhaps the seal isn't a tight enough fit).

Has anyone else had any experience of this problem and how to rectify it?

Ensure its not comming from the passenger seat.

I got a high pitched whine from my 03 WRX when I hit 135mph. I assumed it was something to do with the drivetrain (ie resonance of some form) so never bothered to try and repeat it.

I never said where 'cos it mightn't have been in the UK, and if it was, it could have been in the Isle of Man. It could also have been on track. Or I may be talking b0ll0x

Had the same problem myself on my05 impreza. It might sound daft, but behind the drivers wing mirror. ie the bit that faces the door. their is a sticker that starts to peel. pull said sticker of and noise should disapear. Worked for me, and i nearly took it back to the dealer. That would of been embarassing.

Its the sound of your wife, its normal for a male to hear them screaming and nagging when doing abnormal throttle positions

At least it happens at 110mph with you. When I go over 90mph I get a high pitched resonance (from my girlfriend !! )

Same noise here from 02 Bug WRX, its to do with the frameless windows, as mentioned, if you are going to sustain that speed, just undo the window a fraction, then do it back up
