Wind noise from rear

When the rear windows are lowered I get a very loud whirring rat-tat tat noise when going above 50 km or 30 miles when going even faster say 80 km or 50 miles the sound if deafening. I have taken the car in twice and the technician said it is wind noise and a design flaw. Do any of you have this and do you think it will be better with the door visor. I have had this car since last May when it can out and have had almost every problem mentioned on this board.

Oil leak from filter
Rattles in both font and rear
Rattles from the dash
Rattles from the speaker
Trim that does not fit
Warped discs
Clicking when moving at low speed at near full lock
Poor gas mileage sometimes, then it goes away then comes back
Moisture in light assembly

I have been to the dealer more than I can count this is getting real old fast. Are Acura really this bad this is my first and last was going to buy a TL but have read they have problems too.

Thanks for reading my rant.

It's because you are creating a low high pressure buffetting inside the car.

Crack the front windows open a bit to relieve the pressure.

Thanks for the response but you see even if the front window is opened to relive the pressure the noise is still there just not as annoying. I have had the door seals changed and this has helped but still there. This is the first time I have ever experienced this in a car and I have driven or owned a lot of cars from Ferraris to pintos yes a pinto. This is my sister first car and it should be a happy time but from the start it has been a drag. Maybe time to file complaint with Acura and see what they can do.
