Default low tone whistle at 140KM / hour??

I have an 05 roadster. At around 140km/hr I can hear a low whistle from the motor. It's only at that speed. Higher or lower, it's gone. If i step on the gas, it will go away.

It reminds me of my other car I had. I had put in a cold air intake and at a certain speed you could hear a low whistle. It was determined that it came from the throttle body.

I don't have a CAI on my z.

Anyway, just wondering if anybody else has heard this before?

yeah, around 130, 140.. etc. not sure if it's the tranny though, because when I step on the gas, it will stop. As soon as I easy up on the throttle it will start. I'm thinking it's the throttle body.

If you really wanted to know you could always call your dealer im sure they've had complaints about it already.

On a recent long trip, I noticed at almost exactly 80mph a whine from the transmission. Nothing to worry about though. Practically any engine/tranmission/rear end will have some resonate frequency built into it. Once you get to the special speed, it will become obvious.
