Astra making buzzing sound - what's wrong?

I’ve just bought a new Vauxhall Astra SRI, but noticed a buzzing noise at around 30/40mph. Any idea what’s causing it?

Might be a door seal. You can check by getting some masking tape and taping up the driver's door. Then, of course, you'll have to get in passenger side. Take it for a drive and if the noise has gone you know it's the door seal and can tell the dealer what to fix.
