It's not very hard to pull the access cover behind the seats and have a look.
If it's the WP check for drips under.
The AOS can make interesting noises.
Unless it sounded bad and or loud, I'd drive it the 30mi.

Went by the dealer at 8am to road test the car and get it warmed up and reproduce the noise but the car was already on the lift, put there the night before, and the oil allowed to drain overnight. The tech told me as soon as the oil arrived mid-morning he'd complete the oil change then road test the car and reproduce the noise.

... is not just a marketing ploy.
High mileage oil actually contains almost double the ZDDP allowed in "normal" oil.
They found a loop hole where by labelling it for cars over 75,000 miles they were grandfathered into the old standard.
That came directly fro 'the horse's mouth" as I had the opportunity to chat for over an hour with 2 Mobil1 engineers at SEMA.
That's what I put into my and my customers' cars. Mobil1 High Mileage also comes in just about every viscosity as regular M1.

... I'll keep putting as much ZDDP as I can in my oils.
You may have 300K highway miles in your Boxster which is commendable.
I only have 278K on mine, but 82,000 of those are track miles.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro

On second thought,
Could it be your air conditioning? I would get a random wooshing sound that the Tech said was my AC..... really odd sound. He replaced some sort of valve... I think it was located in the front of the Boxster...... my memory is not what it was dang it......
Have you checked the pressure in the system lately?
Peace
