GT3 Bumper wind noise

Had GT3 kit fitted to my 996 C2, but over 70mph there seems be a droning noise which increases in pitch the faster I go, at least I imagine it would if I went faster than 70, which of course I don't. I 'imagine' at 90-odd it would be quite loud and a little distracting. I've also just got new tyres ( conti's), but I didn't think it would be those. Any ideas/suggestions?

cheers.

Sticking brake caliper ? I have a similar problem. When you're travelling at that 'imaginary' 90mph try dabbing the brake pedal and see if the noise stops - theoretically of course !

interesting, thanks. Does that fix it or just help diagnose the problem?

cheers.

It temporarily fixes it on my car ! If the noise doesn't disappear when you dab the brakes then you know that they're not the problem !!!! It's more than likely to be a poorly fitting seal somewhere on the car - can be tricky to trace !

Check the tyre pressure too.

Get someone to ride with you to try to pin down the location of the source of the noise.

Is the sticking caliper the reason you span at Bedford last week????
