Wind noise doesn't correspond directly with drag. If you got a 1st gen insight, you would still notice wind noise. In your case, look for any bad or missing door seals, exterior antennae (especially the whip style), thin side windows, panel gaps, etc. Also, you should look into making an undertray as the underside is a large source of both drag and noise.

Identify the areas producing noise, then apply the applicable solution, don't forget about sound insulation either!
