Under each cockpit sliding window there is a small drain hole the thickness of a pencil. It is the drain from condensation formed behind the overhead panel. You will see the clear plastic tubes leading in the corner of the sliding windows. This drain hole opens and closes by diff pressure (ball on a spring).
This drain hole is not the source of the sound, agreed as per prior posts though. Thanks for detailed responses to those involved
