Just got the car back after a massive saga, now nearly sorted just a few little jobs to do ... £££ anyway have driven up yesterday on the motorway first time in four years in the 944 I encountered the above in Title, is this normal, checked the front of the car all seemed in place, maybe sunroof[:(]
 
No, it should be quiet, maybe a door or window seal?, are the windows rising to the top of their travel?, I once had a high pitched whistle on mine, tracked it down to the driver side wing mirror, one of the joints on the mounting, I put some clear silicone in the joint and that cured it.
 
I have this on my Turbo but I know the cause. I fitted a new scuttle panel and I removed one of the windscreen holding blocks and then changed get it back on (and couldn't find any glue). It makes quite a bit of noise.
 
I have this problem on mine too. Only seem to have noticed it recently.

My plan was to get some masking tape and put a strip round the drivers door to cover the gap and see if it still makes a noise. If it does move on to taping up the window seal.

Once the offending seal has been identified I'll buy a replacement.
 
Drive faster! My old grey car had no sound deadening, little carpet and plastic windows all round and it was loud...until you reached 100mph where it all seemed to come together. All of the droning and resonating diappeared and the exhaust noise was left behind- its as though the car was intended to work at that speed and it was quieter than it was at under 30mph!

I had a similar issue in the 968 today when I shut the sunroof at the top of 5th gear and it didn't seal properly.....
 
I admit to not having senior management approval....

I had let a truck out to do some 56.1mph racing and by the time he moved over I was presented with an empty dual carriageway, anyway she picked up so well in 4th, and then dropped straight into the variocam when I grabbed 5th, so it would be rude not to see what she would do....
