Default Its 130am, and what is that whining sound?

Can someone explain what is the whining sound I hear when hitting 115mph, and still there when i hit 130mph, sounds like its coming from the roof? Is it just the wind? If you guys get this to please elaborate for me?
Went to work on a Grey Sti on 680, i love it, but not the whine....

thanks

umm..i started to get that...mine comes from the top left drivers side....ummm..chances are its just the sound of u and the open road......when you go that fast youd be surprised how many sounds make you scared....you kinda "expect" something to be out of the ordinary but its really just a figment of your imagination

sorta like trippin on acid...or so i hear ..kk..maybe not quite

It's your GF telling you to slow down. This is a common problem in the Z. To fix it, leave her at home.

I once had a car that made a whining noise between 45 and 65 MPH when the air was above 90% RH but it was not raining. I finally figured out that it was the antennae that was vibrating in the humid air. Don't think this is what you are talking about, though, but thought it was interesting. It's a slow day....

It's a good thing I read the whole first post or else I would have replied like this:

"it was my g/f last night, she just wouldn't shut up. Got into an argument and I usually just say sorry and let it blow over or whatever (I am anticonflict) but she was really pissed last night. To those who race other cars WITH an unwilling participant in the passenger seat and it so happens to be your g/f, fiancee, wife AVOID racing at all costs... she'd STILL be going if she weren't at work right now."

Well do you guys get that sound only when you accelerate?....cuz mine doesnt do it unless I get up to 90 and then continue to accelerate.

I don't know, I changed my antenna before I ever hit 80 MPH.
