Wind noise at 70mph

Anyone else get a loud rushing wind noise from the drivers door on the latest Cayennes at 70mph and beyond (in a legal environment of course)?

It's like someone going 'shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh' in my right ear and it gets louder the faster you go.

My OPC tell me this is normal - which I find staggering....
 
I know there were two TSB's for wind noise on the older Cayennes:

8/04 5730 for '04 models regarding new upper window seal (the triangular piece at the upper rear of the window)

8/05 6440 for '05 models regarding the production holes in the door frame.
 
Absolutely not Alex, 'they all do that, sir' in this instance is wrong....
Adjustment required [:)]
 
They are saying all their other demo Cayennes exhibit the same behavior.

I certainly don't recall the noise in the demo's that I previously took out.

So it's either a design flaw or I have super-human hearing.
 
Did you guys go for the 'Heat and noise-insulating glass' option by any chance?
 
Had mine 6 months and no such noise. It's not acceptable to say it's normal - it certainly is not and do they honestly expect to build such a vehicle at such a price level and have a wind noise? I think not and someone needs a kick in the rear at your dealership I'm afraid, for even contemplating it. I didn't spec the heat and noise-insulating glass. Glad I didn't if that's the cause.
 
I would write to Porsche direct in UK and tell them what the OPC told you
And ask for confirmation ?
