Wind noise -- whistling

Hey all -- I've been enjoying the new-to-me 2007 Cayman S immensely, but have but one complaint (other than the fact that the black paint looks dirty about 30 seconds after I wash the car): when I am driving at "highway speeds" with the windows down, there is a high-pitched whistling, presumably caused by wind, coming from the passenger side of the car.

The noise begins at exactly 56 mph and increases at speed (although it does go away once the speed is raised to a certain point well above the speed limit). Rolling up the passenger window 3/4 of the way diminishes the noise somewhat, and rolling it up all the way makes the noise go away completely. I can't pinpoint it exactly, but it seems to be coming from the "back" of the window area/near the seatbelt opening. Any thoughts? And, yes, I know I could just drive with the passenger window up, but I LIKE windows-open driving!

I had the same issue with my 2000 Boxster. Tried everything and then put a front tag on the car - whistling noise stopped. I changed the air flow pattern.
