Weird noises.. ??
 
I have started getting a noise once my car goes above a certain speed. :mad:

It sounds like very heavy rain drops on a tin roof, or the creaking of new leather. Although the sound is pretty LOUD, it is very hard to pin down where it originates from.

Starting point for the noise is about 65-70 mph. The sound goes away quickly as my car slows down again.. ???

Anyone have any ideas please?

As it's speed related, perhaps check your tyres? Maybe a balance weight has fallen off... :)

Could wind be making something flap at speed? A loose heatshield or something around the undertray? or something like a split boot on a cv joint and the rubber catching on something as it spins round? Just ideas.

I had a loose under tray once making a strange whoomping rattle!

I had the similar weird noise once. I took the car to my garage and they said it's the turbo. May be you should check your turbo

Thanks for all the help so far..... :}

It isn't a flappy sort of sound.
No tray on my car.
No vibration so not wheel related.

The noise is like heavy raindrops you get just before a storm. They are seperate but very frequent, and sound as though it is up in the roof! ???

They start and stop at about 65 mph...

My weird noise at speed was also undertray - where it meets the bumper.
Before I read your last post, I was confident that'd be the answer! :D
