It's one of the possible causes, yes.
When you feel the buffeting on your body, it'll very likely be the cause.

The air sort of collapses into the void left by the windscreen when it moves through the air, and this doesn't happen neatly symmetrically, creating buffeting (and drag).

As an aside, Craig's fairings were renowned for their low buffeting.
Or should I say ARE, because they are still used today and actively traded by the looks of it

650 hits on ebay ...
One of them for Vetter logos, which should look good on a Vetter competition bike

So if this theory is correct then you should be able to test it by getting up to 70-80 till you start feeling the buffering, then get into a tuck and it should go away.
Give it a try.
You partly fill in the void by tucking in.
