What's causing wind noise to come from my Skoda Octavia?
I have an eight-month-old Octavia hatchback 1.9TDI. At 68-70mph there is a noise that can only be described as like blowing across the top of a bottle, but quite loud. The dealer has said that it is 'wind noise'. That is obvious, but he has not come up with a solution. It isn't a constant noise, but lasts for about 8-10 seconds and then repeats after a break of 10-15 seconds. Any suggestions?

If it was constant I'd have said a door seal. Off and on, possibly a loose flap in the ventilation system.

Please advise.
