Wind noise/road noise?

Just bought a new 09 corolla. While driving, I constantly hear wind noise and road noise coming in somewhere around the drivers side door or window. Has anyone else had this problem? I took it to the dealer and they replaced the weather stripping around the door, but nothing changed. The passenger side is perfectly quiet.

Yea i hear the same thing too. I guess it's cuz our cars are not sound dampened that much. Especially at highway speeds. I tryin to find some WeatherTech Visors and hoping that'll clear it up cuz it can get very loud. You should hear it @ 110mph, kinda like being in a wind tunnel, lol.

That windtunnel sound u speak of....ive gotten it at 110, 100, and 80. 80 was at a cold engine. But that was during the warmer weathers. Now that its winter time and im hitting 110....i dont hear it at all.

Great, I was hoping it would improve at warmer temps. Even driving in wet conditons is kind of loud, as well as when someone passes me. It more or less is like the door is not closed all the way. I've taken a good look around, and everything seems tight and sealed. Would sound proofing the doors help?

my car has some wind noise coming from the front door area and what i did was stuffed some thin weather strip foam into the window channel. seems to work getting rid of most of the wind noise. i also have dynamat extreme on my front doors so it helped too...and gave it a nice sound when closing.

I found out that there's a way to adjust the door to make it close tighter. I've got to get to the bottom of this problem as it's absolutely driving me nuts! I can't tell if it's the window itself or the channel with the molding that's not sealing properly.

Today I tried the stick on foam in every channel and around the door seal as well. I thought that would solve the problem, but the noise is exactly the same. I've got to find out where this wind is getting in. I really think it's the window, but there doesn't seem to be any obvious fix for that. I'd really appreciate any input.
