ILX wind noise at highway speed

Hi guys
I own 2013 ILX 2.0 Premium pkg, and I don't know if it's normal or not to hear wind noise at 50mph or above. I just got windows tinted couple weeks ago and I cannot seem to remember if the wind noise was noticeable before the tint job or not.

Do you guys hear wind noise if you are going at highway speed?

I hear wind noise but it's mostly drowned out by the road noise.

Trentimus, you stated that you put "open cell foam" in your window channel. Can you tell me more about that? I have a '14 ILX that I just bought new last summer. I've had the channel replaced and greased. It stopped the noise for a while but it's starting to return a little.

I had a similar experience with my 2013 ILX 2.4; I started noticing wind noise from the passenger side after I had some body work done on the rear passenger-side door, after which the power window on the front passenger door didn't work properly due to a computer glitch. The noise seemed to come from the front passenger window, as if there was an air leak. I took it to the Acura dealer and asked them to check it out, make sure the body shop put everything back together properly, &c. They tried a couple of different fixes, including replacing the window tracks; the noise seemed to abate but never went away completely. I think it comes from the mirrors.

How does the wind noise/road noise in the 2016 compare with the 2016 Honda Accord EXL & up and Acura RDX?
