It may be the air entering the mirror. Check out the TSB section and it shows what the dealers can do to fix it.

Oh ya! I thought for sure that the door was gonna pop right open. Kinda scary thought when you are doing 130 and your wife is sitting in the seat next to the door making all the noise.

Hey, let's not have any of this type of language, this is a family friendly forum!

Just kidding, yes I have noticed the wind noise gets really bad up in the triples. Mine sounds like the door seal leaks. Never notice it until I hit those speeds.
If you have a sunroof and the stock antenna, take a look at that thing, looks like it's going to self destruct

very normal, I see it at around 120kph.

If you fold in the mirror the noise goes away.

120kph is only about 75mph, that is not normal.... I don't get it until well into triples (in MPH).

I didn't notice it when racing a 08 Mustang GT auto. At 125 it ended me at 1/4 car. Was surprised when I looked at the speedo it didn't seem that I was going that fast.

Maybe this is a metric speed?
