Default Wind Noise

Anyone get a drafty, moaning wind noise from the rear window/wheel well area at highway speeds? Sounds like a haunted house in a bad horror movie, fortunatly it's not very loud! Sometimes I don't even notice it. I had a 2002 XK8 that didn't have it, but my current 2000 does. I thought it could be the Dunlop tires, but a new set of Michelin Pilots recently hasn't made any difference. I taped over all the rear window moulding including the rear side windows to smooth out the airflow, but didn't make any difference. Seems worse on windy days, could it be some sort of eddying or burbling effect?
