Hampsters. You have hampsters in your car. That's what the noise is.

For any of you guys following this. Today was a nice calm, no wind day, took the s on the road, and the noise was still there.

I had no more ideas, so then I figured it might be the tires.

I spoke to a buddy of mine who has the same tires on his Rx7. Apparently, the tire I am running is known to be noisy. I have BF GOODRICH KDW-2's. I am not sure if its the tread pattern, or just the fact that my stocks are alot softer.

I went on tirerack to check people's reviews, and lo and behold, alot of people mentioned the road noise these tires make. So it was the tires the entire time. I will just live with it.
