Wife used to squawk at lower speeds, so much so that I couldnt enjoy the drive. And when I increased the car to much faster speeds she stopped squawking but then her teeth would start to rattle. What was my solution? either turn up the stereo or leave her at home.....

Can't help with your rattle but squeaking can come from the rubber seal between the traing edge of the top (below the rear window) and the leading edge of the tonneau cover.

To test for this, stand next to the intake/vent and prod/bounce the rear window to simulate it being buffeted by the wind at speed. If the squeak is nearby it's probably that seal. The cure... open the soft top half way and apply vaseline on the seal.

The side window rubbers can squeak and if they do, slap on the vaseline to them too.

Yes mine rattles when its a bit windy..OPC said they have a fix, which is basically putting some padding on the struts / bars.. Not covered under warranty and very labour intensive.. So radio up..
