Default Wind Noise on '99 Accord at 60+ MPH

Anyone else notice this? I have a V6 EX Coupe and whenever I'm on the highway it seems at those the front of the car is overly noisy from wind when I'm at 60+ MPH.

Is there any way to remedy this?

use cruise control at 59 mph. That's a problem that most of that gen has. Turn the music louder at 59mph.

{in my best guiness commercial voice}

BRILLIANT!!!

Seriously though, what is the hang up that isn't letting the air pass over it smoothly? Possibly windsheild wipers? Or is it just the fundamental shape of the car's front end?

Extra noise insulation or buy a Camry.

you might check to see if air leak is around mirror fit in door.....or check to see if the weather stripping has started to stretch up into top corner of door fit.....theres something with the black trim around the window that seems to be jamming the seal accordion style due to fatigue of the glue or whatever was holding this trim with the trough seal for a tight fit...I'm waiting to see a recall here!!!

This actually sounds like it's coming from around the passenger side windsheild wiper area. It MIGHT be the mirror over there and I'm just hearing it at a funny angle, but I'd swear it sounds like it's coming more from the windsheild than the door areas. It's pretty much just on the passenger side also, not so much on the driver side.
