Wierd Sunroof "noise"

Just wondering if others have had this happen. At around 35-40 mph, with both windows up and sunroof all the way open, the air pressure makes it sound (for lock of a better description) like a helicopter is hovering over me. Crack a window and it stops. Its not a huge deal, just somewhat annoying. Has anyone else experienced this, and is there a fix?

Are all the screws in the Sunroof? Maybe the pressure changes are making it bounce up and down a bit? Or maybe it's the wind passing through it...Not sure.

it might just be the air pressure fluctuating in the area just above your head. with the sunroof open wind blows into your cabin creating posative pressure so it temporarily stops flowing in and flows out then the cycle repeats. this only haps at a certain speed because of a sortof harmonic resonance.

happens in my FC, Saab SPG, Porsche 993, Jeep GC Limited, and in my buddies *gag* Honduh. all have sunroofs.

To get the noise to stop, you need to put on a wind deflector
