Quite frankly the dealers and Subaru are unable to fix the problem on my car and I've given up. I reckon I've wasted 8-10 days of my time on this and they won't even offer a free service as compensation. The end result is that I'll never buy a Subaru again as I expect better / more proactive service from a company taking a few hundred pounds off me let alone £20k.

I assume they've tried the diff dampers then? Subaru's UK Technical Manager happened to be in my dealers when my car was in 1st time. He listened to the noise, took it back to their Tech guys, and called my dealer with the solution a couple of weeks ago. Resolved now, as far as I'm concerned.

Mine also starts around 50-60 and sort of comes and goes. Demo WRX I drove had the same noise, so I'm not too worried.

Yep mine does this too at exactly 63mph. 03WRX PPP wagon with 24k on the clock. Definitely not a window seal. Instantly thought it sounded like some kind of transmission whine.
Only noticed it in the last week or so, but as with any new noise it's bugging me already. Interesting to read peeps' experiences. Think I might print this thread off and go pay my *cough* helpful dealer a visit.
Shame that nobody has found a total one-hundred-percent fix for this.
