That "aerodynamic" shape isn't much of a help, really. Unless they have the magic teardrop taper on the back, you're making turbulence.
Do give it a try, though. My Chrysler van also drives quieter with the rack off. It used to be impossible to drive with the windows open, the low frequency "thrumming" sound (vortex shedding) was so bad. That's entirely gone now. Oh, that had elliptical cross bars, too.
