Are you sure that noise is the seats and not your passengers' collective bums from your late braking or hard cornering?!? (Sorry, couldn't resist)
Serious answer is yes, probably. Could be either metal on metal, e.g. springs rubbing against the frame, or vinyl/leather rubbing against other trim. Either way, strategically squirted WD40 should sort it.

hahaha, could well be, but, alas no. I was the only person in the car! I am more ambitious in the corners now though in my new go kart!
I'll look at the seats later!

OK, so I seem to have like a metal on metal squeek noise that I only really notice when the window is down. I have had it up on a hoist and the wheels spin without any noise and I can't find anything loose underneath.... So, don't think it is a wheel bearing or exhaust. Anyone any idea?

Under what conditions?
Accelerating/decelerating/turning/constant? Does the pitch change? Can you induce the noise or do anything to get rid of it (other than wind the window up!)?

No, it constant, I would say it does sound like it is in time with the wheel going round and mainly at low speeds (but doesn't seem to increase in frequency as I speed up) over slightly uneven road. I don't notice it at speed on an A road but then there is a fair bit of wind noise then!
I would say it definately isn't internal - I'm rubbish at explaining this aren't I - sorry! I do appreciate any help though!

Bumper - so - some strategically placed sticky foam or something to stop it? I suppose it could be the bumper, I'll check later - to be fair it doesn't do my head in enough to take the bumper off!

not saying it is but just trying to say these things arent really an exact science to trace at times, usually a helper is needed plus a lot of stripping to eliminate things
