I had this on my previous Cayman and have just adjusted the spoiler on my new GTS due to the same whistling.

Unsuccessful attempt
I was then able to get a new spoiler fitted under warranty and haven’t heard a whistle since. I did also remove the PPF on the door mirrors, it was a waste of time and money, it made no difference at all.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I Just wantEd to check before I ring my OPC but I have noticed a whistling / ringing type noise from the rear of my car at speed (65 mph +). It could be from the rear spoiler, anyone else had this problem?

POST 2Original post

If you have PPF on the car then it will whistle. https://www.718forum.com/threads/whistling-noise.1... https://www.718forum.com/threads/whistling-noise-a...

POST 3Original post

I’ve had the same whistling problem on my Cayman GTS, I eventually isolated the problem to the rear spoiler. There’s a join between the top and bottom parts on the front edge of the spoiler, this was causing the whistling. To test this tape up the front edge, the moment this was done the whistling vanished. I was then able to get a new spoiler fitted under warranty and haven’t heard a whistle since. I did also remove the PPF on the door mirrors, it was a waste of time and money, it made no difference at all. Hopefully this helps the next person.

POST 4Original post

Yep. Its the spoiler. I had this on my previous Cayman and have just adjusted the spoiler on my new GTS due to the same whistling. Fortunately it's gone now.

POST 5Original post

You should’ve bought a Boxster - an extra whistle would make no odds (roof down of course )

POST 6Original post

It’s just pedestrians whistling because you look so good in your car.
