Aftermarket Wind Noise Reduction - Any options?

[buddylee]

Title kind of lays it out. The road noise I can handle, but the wind noise, man, it's driving me nuts. I will pay almost any amount for a solution. Anyone have any luck? I know it's generally not an easy thing to fix, but with my windows rolled up, going 80, it's rought.

my music drowns it out but yeah it is pretty annoying lol. is it just a matter of replacing that rubber seal around the window? it has that big nub in the middle of it that im pretty sure disrupts the air seal.​

I recall a week after I purchased my Type-S I noticed more wind noise on my driver side then the passenger side. I ended up calling my dealership and they confirmed that parts of the foam liner was not properly glued/seated and re-installed the foam liner around the entire driver side door.

Worth setting up an appointment to get it checked out if its still under the first year warranty.

I don't notice any wind noise in this car. Probably something similar going on.

Also FWIW, my wife's Macan had a similar situation where suddenly I was noticing this whistling wind noise... it was a damn leaf. It doesn't take much apparently.
