From memory they should have tape around the wiring plug .. use a bit of gaffer tape please to make a seal around that plug and out to the bodywork just in case .. 5 mins and a pair of scissors :)

EDIT ..

If you press the recirc button it closes the flap in the pollen filter houseing there by eliminateing and air going through there .

Worth a go!, I did put some masking tape around that gap but can't hurt to go around it some more. It could be the ones you have seen/done have been taped to prevent the noise as it seems they normally come without.

Also I checked the frunk plastics this evening, turns out I am missing the very top left hand screw fixing bracket which is why the trim was sinking. That and a new screw on the way from Porsche for the grand total of £3.50 delivered !

Re: Recirc - Damn I think I have already tried that, worth another go!

If all else fails, then its back to the windscreen.
 
You are doing the right thing .. i also mask trims with tape to try and find a wind noise .. if its all masked and there is still a noise then its not wind !

I am wondering .. on 996 we used to fit tape under the screen rubber to stop creaks .. maybe :dont know:

Not seen that on a 997 though .

What you need to do .. which obviously you cant as your too far away but is come grab me in Brighton so i can have a listen :D

Why is it almost every person here lives so far away from me .. sigh.

I need to move further North i feel .. which as the wife wont follow might be a good thing :D

Thanks deMort!

You have been VERY helpful, I would absolutely drop in if local.

I will probably have to take it back to the specialist I had it serviced at, when I head back that way/nearby if I don't have any joy with it.

However I suspect Sunday is the day to test it, as I am finally heading onto a motorway then. Not sure what the wife will thing of a masked off 911 ! :mrgreen:
 
Have you checked the screen and surround for any objects... I had a strange wind noise from our Audi A8 which was driving me mad. In the end I spotted a tiny insect wing that was embedded in the surround rubber. Pulled it out and all was quiet! Just as you describe though, a static-y sort of noise.

I have, nothing visible :(
 
Right an update on this one, after masking taping the car as per above....silence !

I was also in the passenger seat this time and its clearly coming from the top corner of the passenger windscreen.

This now clearly points to the recent windscreen fitting.

Looking closely, I already knew that the windscreen rubber was slightly lower at the top than factory (due to original sit line) but I bet it is actually penetrating at that upper left hand side where you can see the slight gap against the painted surface.

So given I dont think there is a simple fix/wider rubber trim, then I need to look at getting it re-fitted or see if a little spec of black silicone doesnt look too ungainly until a stone flicks up and kills the screen.
