Possible there's a seal gone around my windscreen?

I'm sure my car is much more louder inside the car now from when I bought it. If I put my hand up to the top where the windscreen meets the roof when driving on the motorway I can feel a tiny breeze. Also I tend to get lots of condensation.

Would a new windscreen fix this? What else could the loudness be?

Did you change tyres lately?

No. I can hear the sound of air quite loud, well, when on the motorway. Example, I was going about 70mph on the motorway and I couldn't hear the other person on loudspeaker.

Go through a car wash. Does water enter the cabin?
Or go to a pro and let them have a look.

Yes, it can happen that the windscreen bonding has failed resulting in the issues you describe.
I had it happen an old car once. I was getting a whistling noise for about a year, then after hitting a rather severe pothole, the next time I got up to speed, the whole thing became loose.
Has the car had a windscreen replaced previously?

No, I have had the car a year. Has a couple of chips though, would that make a difference?

Also nothing comes in that I know of during a car wash. The condensation can be pretty bad in the mornings though, I rubbed my hand up at the top of the windscreen and it can be very wet, so much so water droplets fall to the bottom.

A smoke machine (if you can get your hands on one) will show you pretty quickly if there are any issues with the seals and if there are usually a bit of rubber behind the seals where the issue is sorts the problem.

Really annoying me now. It seems I can hear very easily through the passenger rear window. I just don't know exactly why the wind noise is so much. Argh

A couple of years ago the windscreen of my wife's Ka got cracked. Windscreen guy came along to replace it and discovered that the original had not been bonded in place, just held there by the trim. As she bought it a few months old with 4 thousand or so miles on it I would assume that it left the factory that way.

So gave my car a wash with a powerhose and rear left window I saw some water droplets get inside the window.

ANyone know how to check if it's a door seal or window seal or what exactly?

This is probably a cause of the loud wind noise I hear when driving on motorway.

Could be wind deflectors if fitted,had aftermarket ones on previous car, kept slipping,then whistling etc

You've answered your own question ,, seal most likely, I sealed an older car with window sealant, black,messy ,but if careful u can definitely seal windscreen
