Question Wind/fan noise from the back when road is wet?

A few days ago I heard a noise coming from the back of the car that sounds very similar to the wind noise when a window is open. But all windows were closed and I confirmed it wasn't the radio. I opened and closed all windows the noise was still there. It was not there when the car was not moving. The noise also sounded like air going through a vent. I checked the high battery temperature with ScanGauge. It was only 19C (66F) and I have never heard the battery fan coming on even during the hot summer. I checked all glass and none was broken or cracked.

Now the noise is gone. The only difference I could think of is that when I heard the noise it was raining and the road was wet. Could it be the wet road noise? Anyone has similar experience? Thanks!

Yes, it's wet road noise and water splashing up underneath the car. It's normal. I had the same thing on my '04 and have it with my '09.
