Default Wind noise
Has anyone noticed a wind noise in the rear, it sounds like wind being sucked in for the electronic differencial?

Tire noise perhaps? Big Michelins are noisy.

No it is not coming from the tires, it is like rushing air!

It is from the upper side vents behind the doors. They produce a good bit of noise

If its rushing air you are hearing, its one of a few things:

1. You are on the edge of the NPP flapper valves opening
2. The HVAC blower is running
3. Window/hatch not completely closed

#2 sounds incredibly like wind noise but it is simple to rule out. Just turn the climate control off.

Every time I think I have wind noise it is either #1, or #2.

If you get the accessory mat for the back it drops the road noise level a bit (at least it did in the Stingray).
