100mph noise

[bmh2208]

Has anyone else noticed a whistling noise when approaching speeds of 100mph. It seems to be coming from the area around the lower right corner of the windshield (looking from the drivers seat). I can tell is is some aerodynamic noise that starts at about 90-95mph, and peaks at about 100. At first I thought it was the windshield wipers, but I turned them on and the noise didn't go away. I am starting to think that it maybe the side mirror that is introducing the noise. Haven't had a chance to fold it in and try it. The noise just gets kind of annoying when you are trying to concentrate on driving and this whistle pops up. Any ideas?

Are you sure it's not the sirens behind you?

I have it too.. SOOOO annoying... It is the windshield.. on mine it is the top part if the windshield right above my head, if I press on it, the noise gets louder. I would take it to mazda, but what would I say?? "My windshield leaks when Im going 100-120" I dont think that would fly straight...

This is superspud by the way, not mx3ownzj00

There are a few threads on this, it is the rubber around the windshield. There is a way to fix it, that consist of a lil silicone bead in the rubber gasket.

do you just peal it back and put the silicon on? or what? b/c that s*** can be tricky and I dont want to make it worse than it is already...

No sirens! On my way home from Houston, I go down a pretty desolate road where I get on it from time to time. Usually to pass someone. It just kind of scares me when the sound starts....reminds me of a warning buzzer (probably something mazda built into the car to keep us from speeding, j/k). What if I was on the oval at Texas World Speedway, would I get a different response from you guys? I guess I am just used to the quietness of my old sc400 or my 300ZX. It's my wifes car so I guess I don't drive it too much to make me wanna take it in to get fixed.

Thanks for the replies!
