I have exactly the same problem on a similar model of the same age - see
earlier thread "307 droning".

Cheers

iN REPLY TO MY OWN PROBLEM I HAVE FOUND FAULT AND WONDER HAS ANY OTHER
307 DRIVERS HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE FAULT LIES WITH THE BACK WINDOW,IF
YOU HAVE JUST YOUR BACK OFFSIDE WIDE OPEN AND TRAVEL ON MOTORWAYDOING
BETWEEN 55-70MPHYOU WILL EXPERIENCE A LOUD BOOMING NOISE TO SOLVE
PROBLEM EITHER OPEN DRIVERS WINDOW OR LIKE I AM DOING BUT AM AWAITING
PART PUT A WIND DEFLECTOR ON WINDOW.ILL LET YOU KNOW WHETHER THIS
TAKES AWAY THE PROBLEM B:)

Hi,

I do agree. That's a classic of aerodynamics. I have the same behaviour with
my 205 :-)

Not the same problem as mine then...it does it with all the windows shut.

Hi,

I guess I'd look for a "parasite" air intake. Have a look at all seals, try
to flow loads of water all along the car.
Hint : first series of 307 were known to have such a problem with
windshield, this causing the BSI to be sunk (and many problems then).
The tailgate upper ass'y may well be another way to go.

Please note I just write it as I feel, with nor experience nor certitude.

HTH,

Steve,to tell you the truth no i have’nt and i’ve been driving 30 yrs
now .yes you do get drag and a noise of pressure but on the 307 it is
horrendous and the technical guy who looked at the car in the garage
where i purchased could’nt say he had heard anything like it and
complained of his ears .Anyway maybe i have never let the kids open
the windows right down,my 2yr makes it first job before you even can
get in car yourself. :lol:

I haven't opened my car windows in years - surely AirCon is standard on an
18 month old 307 ?

the noise is bad but the pressure in the ears is awfull! It happens on my
307SW but this also happened on my 306 station wagon!
It looks like the airflow goes somewhere between the seatbelt and the window
frame and makes this nasty whop-whop noises and pressure in the ears.  And
the faster you go the worse it gets.

I looked at the BMW website, a £19k 1 series has air con as a £600+ option!

Yeah but that's always been BMW's way, class standard features as extra's
e.g. cigarette lighter, wheels, glovebox torch.

It's horrendous in the 307, not so much wind noise, but a deep low frequency
boom, you can really feel it deep in your ears.  Never heard anything like
it in any other car I've owned.

Can normally get rid of it by changing the position of some of the windows
up or down a bit, bit of a balancing act.

Which windows do you have open, if any?
