wind noise-drivers window

Anybody having an issue wind wind noise coming from the drivers window? Notice it at about 35 mph. Very slight, but annoying. Could be coming from the outside mirror. Had the dealer check. Said it might be a defective door seal. Replaced the inner, drivers-side door seal. Noise still there, but maybe slightly better. Anyone had this problem and found a solution? Thanks.

My experience is that most 'wind noise' complaints are normal turbulence. About the only thing can be repaired is an air leak. I've had technicians go so far as to tape up the window where it meets the frame and road test. if the noise goes away, then it's an air leak that's usually repaired by replacing a door seal.

If the window frame is taped up on the outside and the noise goes away, it's usually a wind turbulence that cannot be repaired because it's inherent in the design of the car.

I've had the same issue and have complained and taken it back. They claim that no air is coming into the car. It is very annoying, as people have a hard time hearing me on the other line. I believe it's something to do with the door.

Another member gave me this tip, roll the windows down take a dollar bill and close the door. If you can move the dollar then you have an issue. My passenger side is solid but the drivers side and the 2 back doors, I can move the dollar bill. The dealer tested this on other cars and 8 out of 10 cars did the same thing as mine. Try it and see what you find out.
