    at about 130 MPH+ (at least in a 02 wrx sedan) a loud whilstling noise occurs. It's more lower pitched and you can replecate the sounds with a hum more so you actually whistling. I have heard it a few times before and the first time freaked me out. After researching it I found that it was because it was the way the air flows around the side mirrors.

    I don't know if this is what you are talking about but I thought I would throw it out there.

    and when i say low pitched I don't mean like bass, just a little bit lower than a normal whistle... if that makes sense...

    Is the windshield a factory unit? I had mine replaced recently and it made a bad wind noise, complete with water leak. A little caulk later and she is all good.

    Don't forget there is a large protruding scoop on the hood that could contribute to wind noise!
