Not sure if it's my imagination but it seems like there is a hint of extra wind noise around my left ear. Anyone else experienced this on either side? I'll have to be a passenger on the highway to see if it's on both sides.

If so, I wonder if the window going up and down can get out of calibration. Or perhaps the door latch could be adjusted to squeeze tighter...

 

Could be from the mirror, I would hear some turbulence from it.

To check the tightness of your windows close it on a dollar bill, you should be able to pull it out with some effort; compare the resistence from one side of the car to the other.

Hope this helps

 

RJC - Good point about using a dollar bill to measure window fit. I'll have to keep one in my toolbox next to the Lincoln head penny that I use to measure tire tread wear!

Eovking - Yes, a window can go out of calibration if a blockage or resistance occurs in the guide channel, such as by ice in the winter. Occasionally, my passenger side window would go up, reach the upper limit, and then go back down by itself. The owner's guide explains how to to reset the window anti-trap protection. First, completely close the window in question. You may have to tap the switch repeatedly to move it up incrementally to get it to completely close without reversing. Next, pull the switch to close that window again and hold it for 2 seconds. Next, open that window fully and then hold the switch down for 2 seconds. Lastly, use one-touch operation to close that window. Repeat for the other side. If that doesn't work, the door panel may need to be removed to realign the guide channel.

Hope this helps.

I have a strange wind sound from the driver's side too. Appears to be coming from around the side view mirror area but I cannot be sure. I had the dealership take a look at it - took a mechanic out for a test ride on the highway and he heard it, but couldn't pinpoint the cause. Windows seem to seal fine...

 

I've had the same type of noise since I bought the car 2 years ago.
