I'm guessing you're talking about the *thump* *thump* *thump* sound?

I believe it's called bernulli's principle. It has to do with where the air enters the car. Try putting one of the front windows down. You should have no more thumps.

CaseSensitive has hit it on the nose - even just putting the front window down an inch will get rid of that annoying thump. (wiggle)

Fortunately, some of us Canadians can put windows down in December - sorry 5thAve. (canada)

I think an opened sunroof should help with this too, although I'm not positive.
