Default whistling sound at 67mph. MY04

My MY04 WRX has started making a whistling sound (can't tell where from, but not engine) at 67mph. Not above that. Not below that. Sounds wind related. Does it wet or dry. And ideas?

Probably the rubber seals are starting to go around one of the windows as mine is making a noise about about 65mph

Turbo cranking up!!!

Only joking.

I'd put it down to window seals personally. Get a passenger to gently push the seals up to the windows as you drive along (on a motorway of course at that speed!!!) Might tell you where abouts wind is getting in.

Or a victorian street urchin playing a penny whistle?

Don't have any problems with my '02 but, did read a while ago that the factory part number stickers inside the wing mirrors have been known to cause whistles. If you fold the mirror in it's a little yellow sticker. The only time mine makes any whistling noise is at a very naughty speed!

My 200 Classic did the same. It turned out to be the windscreen wipers. Changed the blades and it stopped.
