Maybe Bubb Rubb had your car. Remember the classic video of people installing a "whistle" in their exhaust tips? http://www.whoomp.com/articles/40/1/...ubb-Rubb-Video

More info would be helpful as well.
Was is a high or low pitched "wooowoooo"?
Is is a consistant "woooowoooo"?
Does the "woooowoooo" occur a higher or lower rpm's.
Does the "woooowoooo"? go away when you stop?
Does anything else accompany the "woooowoooo"? Like a "doo wop" or "ditty dum ditty doo"?

no, i don't have the oem tires on mine anymore. i had a set of all-season avons put on since i live in ohio. i still have the noise. i'm not sure but i think it has to do with how wide the tires are and that they are directional tires.

Id say i know the exact noise your speaking of..
I thought it was tires, though rx8s have alot of sound material in the guards to soak up such noise. Also i went from stocks to now my 20s and still the same noise.
I put it down to either noisy wheel bearings, or yeah jus tyre noise making its way into the car.

There is a big difference between worn OEM tires and new ones. You only really appreciate it after you can hear the difference.
