Anyone else get a loud whistling noise when doing 75mph plus in an XJ8?

I occasionally get it and can't figure out why. Had it checked by dealers before but they could'nt find the problem.

Maybe a design fault?

It's a 1998 XJ8.

Someone told me that the windows frames are adjustable, so will try that fax.
