Narrative:
On takeoff roll approximately 100 KIAS; loud wind noise heard in cockpit. Investigation revealed first officer window sliding open. Deafening noise; failure (inability) to communicate with other crew and confusion and uncertainty led to abort at 150-160 KIAS. V1 speed calculated at 161 KIAS. Aircraft stopped on runway and taxied clear. Began post abort procedures and taxied back to ramp. After period of cooling; returned to gate. No damage to brakes/tires or blown fuse plugs noted.
