Maybe your door seals are worn out?

i noticed this sound too, but i usually drown it out wiht my stereo, sound the like the wind is bouncing off the A pillar. i took a look at my pillars on the outsid eof the window snad they have like a slot that goes all the way up them i thought about filling it in with silicone to prevent the whistling. car and driver noted the whistling when the car was new....

What year car do you have. They redesigned the mirrors in the 02-03 to reduce wind noise. If you are physically hearing air the seal is bad somewhere.

for those with good seals, just wipe them with silicone spray, 303 or similar product.
Make sure to do the moonroof seals and clean its track
Wax the painted metal of the body wherever a rubber seal meets it too.
