Door wind whistle solved!
#16

I initially did both to narrow down where the sound was coming and removed sections of strip at a time to figure out where it was coming from

Hey by any chance did you figure out the windshield noise at 44mph? Mine happens from around 42-52mph, and goes away after that. I have folding mirrors, roof rack mount option, and a glass sunroof. The weather seals that you pull back in order to access the roof rack mounts have a slight gap, which I've tried taping over with no success.

I recall reading a thread where someone said their dealer adjusted the front lip/bumper and it solved the whistle?
My whistle happens at 20-40 mph. I noticed yesterday, when the front axel lift was up, there was no whistle...once it completed lowers itself...whistle.
I searched for the past hour and cannot find the person that said their dealer fixed their whistle by adjusting the front lip/bumper...hopefully that person may see this! I want to ask what exactly your dealer adjusted so I can ask/suggest my dealer to do the same!

So I visited my dealer today so they could have a listen. Tech confirmed he hears the whistle, but could not locate it. He recommended we take a 22' for a spin (mine is a 23). Just as we were pulling out of the parking lot.. we hear it. It seems to be a similar thing for all the vehicles. This is sort of a case closed for me, for now. I'm going to try the little mirror deflectors and will report back if those help what so ever.

Don't waste your money on the wind deflectors..they only work for the wind buffeting when you open a window..doesn't work on the whistle. Wasted my money.
Funny my wife's 991.1 turbo and other past 911s or all my friends with 991s never had this whistling issue.

I put a thin strip of PPF into the grove to make removal easier.
The place was some thin flexible plastic I just happen to have laying around from a toy. Used a Dremel to smooth out and put some thin 3m tape to hold on on....
It actually only need to be about a centimeter long to work...but I just stuck on a long piece

Greetings! The wind whistle is truly solved for me following the above guidance and by making the strip very long. I purchased a 1/8" Buna-N foam strip from McMaster-Carr (linked below), and installed it in the well-cleaned groove and wrapped it below the mirror. I've been driving around like this for about ~700 miles with zero whistle. Pumped!

40 or 70 mph whistle fix?

This is the 40mph really annoying, variable pitch, whistle. Mine was 42ish-50mph zone, changing depending on the wind direction.

Geeze this is pathetic to learn, I don’t have this issue on my 997 and 996, to think we have to tape our windshields and Porsche doesn’t have a solution by now in the 992. On my second windshield per dealer replacement and I still have the whistle noise at 40-65 or so mile, gave up.
