I was responding to rjm. Your noise is a different noise. The car has a mechanical "whining" or "spoolong" type noise with throttle thats just a characteristic of the drivetrain. You get used to it.

Thanks for the information. But I noticed the wind noise without the PPF the day that I drove the car back home. And after installing the PPF, the level of wind noise is about the same.

I tried taking off the PPF myself but couldn't get under it without scratching the mirror so have an appointment tomorrow at the dealer to have it removed. Hopefully that will fix it. You can't carry on a normal conversation at highway speeds in my car because of the high noise from the right side. Forget about listening to the radio at 70-75 mph.

I don't have PPF on my mirrors and I want them.

My 13GS has a very high level of wind/road noise at highway speeds, primarily from the right side. My SA told me there was no official fix for this but suggested I remove the thin protective film off the right rearview mirror. I haven't tried it yet because I've read mixed reviews on this "fix". I was hoping that issue would be fixed on the 14GS.

I have a 14 GS F Sport and I also don't get these noises. Very quiet ride with the exception of tire noise from the crappy Bridgestone tires
Also, the engine clicking sound I hear from outside the car when it is idling.

i get the whistling near the driver side mirror that others get once in a while. also have some rattles here and there that seem to come and go - its been hot so maybe some plastic flexing is going on. lexus looks to do a great job to put in pads to minimize rattling.
