Just a thought...

My first question would be have you had a Boxster or known someone who has had one? Basically, can you compare what sounds normal to what doesn't sound normal. I had a 98 a while back and they sound like a little jet engine all the time...same with the 911s. I would go to a dealer/seller asap and just test drive another to make sure it isn't a normal noise.

I leased a Land Rover and that thing made a god awful whistle sound at 75mph. So, I went to the dealer and the whistle was normal due to how the mirrors were built and actually quieter than the one I test drove.

If that's not it, maybe then throttle intake plastic that comes from the air filter has slipped off?

Hope that helps. Congrats! So have you made a midnight run to Escondido at 100+ yet :-)

good luck,
