I would have been quite surprised if it didn't. With my Passion, it competes for attention with the tire noise at highway speeds.

Nope . . . no window noise at high speeds. Pls. be sure the doors are fully closed on yours. Takes a "slam" to close the doors fully. p

I notice a whistle. I think is is around the rubber along the fixed part of the window and the moving part.

I have this problem as well. I took it to the dealer today. They spent the whole day trying to find what causes the noise. A couple of thougths are going around. Please report this with your dealer.

I will report back if a fix is in place. Btw which model do you have? I have the passion.

I've noticed the wind whistle from the driver's side of my passion as well. A little annoying but nothing terrible.

Mine is on the A-pillar above the door right above my left ear. Smart said this should not be occuring. One possible cause is the glue holding the insulation did not stick to the A Pillar of the Trident Cell and is scratching during a vibration period while during over 40 mph.
