Cayman cabin pressure?

Actually first question is... is Boxster Haven the right place for Cayman questions?

2nd. I test drove an 07 Boxster and 07 Cayman today. Both regular models (non S). I'm not planning on buying anytime soon (next year maybe), but not having driven either of these before I wanted to see what they were like.

I did like the Cayman better in terms of styling, cargo space, and in driving. Totally placebo effect I'm sure but I felt better connected to the road and safer knowing there was car above me.

One thing that bothered me though was a wind buffeting type noise. Not so much a sound but a pressure feeling. It occurred at low speeds over bumps mostly and only when the windows were all closed. Also seemed to occur at certain RPMs. As near as I can figure, it must be coming from the trunk lid or back window bouncing or vibrating and creating a pressure wave sort of like a giant subwoofer.

Anyone else felt this or I am just insane?
