Default Sun roof air flow

How is the air flow and noise when the roof is open driving at low and higher speeds? Any reverberations when windows are down?

I have the sunroof (moonroof?) on mine, and would love to find out for myself and share that information with you, but it's way too cold for that experiment. Ask again in the spring.

I've driven a lot with the moonroof open with both windows and it is not that bad at low speed, like under 50 mph. Over 50 mph it can get kind of loud, but then 825 watts more than makes up for it.

I haven't tried it with the windows down yet, but I don't think it's any louder than any other car I've owned.
