I think it's coming from the side mirror. When I fold in my side mirror the sound goes away.

When the mirror is out I get this whinning sound at around 65mph.

I agree with Jamy, can you be more specific? how loud is it? because I hear noises above 80mph but I think its normal in all cars.

Jamy: we put the music too loud maybe thats why we don't hear anything LOL

I get some wind noise when the climate control is on, and the cabin is sealed (i.e. windows all up/sunroof closed).. to defeat, I just crack the sunroof a little.

I guess I didn't realize it was a "problem", and just assumed it was an undocumented "feature"...

Everything is "quiet" until I open the sunroof, then it get's pretty loud till i open another window to "equalize" the pressure.....

I get a howling sound from the side mirror. Like strong wind howling.

Reports of this problem have cropped up from time to time, I recall it being fixed by the dealers plugging a couple of holes in the door frame.

Very nice.. did you find a used one or were you able to get a deal on a new one? I would think the dealer your getting your GT from would take care of you..

When was your Cayenne made for the people who got the problem?

I hear some normal wind noise sometimes on high speeds, but nothing extraordinary, so is that what you have or is it a another problem?
