A quick read on Google revealed that accelerating while turning would make it sound worse. I couldn't hear any difference when cornering. First noticed this noise on a straight section of road at a steady speed, in fact.

That applies to front wheel drive cars.

That's true of a front wheel drive car. The idea being that as the joint is flexed in both directions (up / down, left/ right) , it'll make more noise. But on the boxster, being rear wheel drive, it only flexes on the one axis regardless of any turning. So no additional noise from turning.
