Whooshing noise when I pass a car that is to my right

Yes, this sounds crazy. But I notice a static/wind/wooshing sound when I pass cars that are to my right. Let's say there is a car in the middle land and I'm passing in the left lane: as I approach the car I'm about to overtake I hear a very subtle "shhhhh" sound. Heard it for the first time today.

Any ideas?

If you are cruising at a constant speed and someone blows by you on the right, do you hear a similar sound?

I'm noticing the same thing on mine. Sounds like static. And only from cars on my right.

Could be that your 340 is loud on the tarmac and the sound is reflected off the passing car - The sound deadening might also not be what you're used to.

I feel like I get a lot of wind noise off my driver's mirror (or I thought possibly wasn't a sealed door) at 65mph+...

Its the sound of you blowing the paint off the car you’re passing.
