Wind noise = drag
well yes and no, it's likely i small hole in a rubber gasket... carmakers spend a lot of time trying to eliminate noise...

the effect of these gaskets is quite clear when a window is just a fraction open or when a door is not fully closed, you imediately hear this.

my advice would be to try to track down the problem, find the damage and fix it... some sylicone might be a good way to fix it, but perhaps replacing the whole thing is also an option
