Whistling in my ear

So I just had a Cross Country trip and noticed that our Corolla's driver's door starts whistling at speeds 50-55 mph.. things tried:

open and close window
Told guys at toyotanation.com forum and hopefully someone has an experience/solution

Things probably will try:

Tell the dealer when oil change.

Car: Base, 5speed manual, ODO ~3200mi

Couple of questions:
Did this whistling occur no matter the direction travelled or was it only there when the wind hit you from a certain direction?
Is it only in the drivers side?

Possibly door seal leaking. It'll be a dealer repair if it is. They may just adjust door tighter if leak is not bad or new door seal.

Trick test I learned is to start car, turn blower fan on full and go round door with a lighted cigarette on the outsuide. Cigarette will glow if inside air is leaking out.

Try wiping the rubber door seal with Armoral to tighten the seal, when your car gets alder and the seals freeze to the door sometimes, then Armoral the rubber seals and waxing the painted part where the seal meats the car helps to solve this problem.
