Lower the windows and squeeze/'pinch' the black triangular 'gusset' at the front. Use your palms and push inward on the mirror area part and outward on the 'tweeter' area on the inside. If that doeas not reduce the noise enough, there may be an adjustment from inside the door. Train your self to close the door by pusing on the metal - not the glass.

 

Try a search on this issue - quite common.

 

If that does NOT help, you may need to beging placig pieces of tape in different areas to pinpoint the problem. If the windshield or wiper blades/arms have ever been replaced, they could cause wind noise too.
