When I go over 85 mph I get an annoying whistling sound which I think is caused by wind on the wing mirror over the passenger side. But I don't get it from the driver's side. That side of the car was resprayed and maybe the wing mirror was removed but I don't know. But it is all solidily in place and nothing looks wrong at all. So then I thought maybe the windscreen wipers have some affect on that side, but noise always there even when they are moving. It could perhaps be coming from the passengher air vent behind the dash (hard to work out exactly where) so I shut off the air intake but noise still there.

I can't work out if this has always been there or if something has happened when the car was in the garage, I've had the bonnet up and everything - it all looks fine.

Does anyone else get a wind-whistling sound from just the left wing mirror at high speed?
