My question: I know this is convertible car but even with the top up I gat a lot of noise (as wind, other cars etc..) almost the same, as the top is not up. Even when parked I can hear everything behind me. Is this normal ?  I know that top is not made of soundproof material. I love the car and I have no issues with this, just making sure this is normal. 
 
Thank you

Pretty normal for a convertible, does your 98 have a top lining? that will cut down noise.
Enjoy and welcome to Porsche ownership!
