Door wind noise

When I drive over 60 mph, I start hearing wind noise, a high whining pitch, around the door handle area. The door and window seals seem good. Any thoughts?

I'm probably beeing a little obsessive compulsive.

Is the noise definitely coming from the door area? I ask because there have been many problems with noisy sunroofs.

It is definitely coming from the door area. When I have been driving, I have been putting my ear low against the door to hear it, attracting odd looks from passerbys.

Make sure that the door gasket is seated properly around the perimeter of the body opening. It is easy to remove and replace, it is just pressed on.

That sounds really safe.

It's fine. I had my 3 year old daughter in the back seat keep an eye on the road for me at the same time she was watching her cartoons on my back seat portable video player.

Kidding aside, I did have my eyes on the road at all times.

LOL, always good to have a responsible co-pilot watching out for you!
