Default whistleing noise inside the car when driving on the freeway

I just purchased a 2007 tc last night. As i was driving home on the freeway, i heard a whistleing noise most likely comming from the front windsheild. Its the same noise when you are driving and you have your windows open a bit. But i made sure all windows, doors and sunroof were closed. has anyone ever experienced this or is it just my car?

The throttle body whistles when you give it 20-30% throttle. that might be what your hearing.

im pretty sure thats not the same noise. it almost sounds like air is penetrating through the seals of the windsheild.
