Whining noise above 100 kmh (60 mph)

Well the title pretty mutch said it all.

On the freeway in 5th gear, i can ear a whining noise starting at around 100kmh (60mph). If i slow down a bit, the whine fades away, but as soon as i reach that speed again, the whining noise returns.

No idea what might be. It seems to come from the front of the car, any ideas?

The missus telling you to slow down????

Mine's always had a slight whining noise when I reach 50mph - Ive read that it could be the type of tyres that are fitted - Pirelli Scorpion STR's are on mine.

I dont worry about it - it's got no worse and to be honest its the only noise that I can hear from inside the cab.

might be worth checking the gearbox / ird / rear diff. .. oil levels

mine's always had a slight whine from the rear diff. at 50/60 mph or so
usually when the engine load is lite-ish .. i.e. downhill when the vehicle weight is helping out
and the road is straight ..
( although on one M-way journey it was evident on the flat .. i.e. engine on 'load' )
recently checked oil levels .. rear diff was a bit low .. topped it up
whine has all but vanished ..

Is the noise from the front seat? If so I think pikey is right...
