Exclamation Wind Noise w/ Thule Edge Aeroblades 7601

I picked up these pricey roof racks for several reasons, I think they look sharper than the OEM model and THULE seems like a trusted manufacturer; so far I think it's a bust.

While they look swell on my 2015 Countryman, I can't figure out why the front rail is making a high pitch wind noise from 35-60mph on the passenger side. The sound subsides after 65mph.

Deductive reasoning has had me:

-adjust the front bar from 6",7", 9" 10.5", & 13.5" from the front flush rail.

-swap the rear rail for the front

-switch the "wind diffuser"'s strip direction pattern

But it's all to no avail.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Robert
