Most are slow. Packs, outflow valves, and door seals fail routinely... that's slow.
Windows and fuselages rarely fail.

YES! I actually had a "whistler" once. A door seal that was whistling. It wasn't even enough to cause any loss of pressure. Of course we landed anyways.

The seal on the crew door on the MC-12 always wore out quick too. We used to just take our helmet bags and have the back-enders hold em up against it and womp! It would pull em into the gap and wammy, cabin px would be as good as new.
