Wind noise
Hey everyone. I just picked up my Q7 two days ago and I think it really is a great car like all of us already know. However today I took it for the first long drive where I drove for about two hours reaching speeds of up to 85mph. Later on in the evening I noticed that whenever I went about 50mph I would hear wind noise that seemed to come from the front windshield.
I opened and closed the windows and the sunroof and it made no difference. It's is a faint whistling sound that wasn't very loud.
I would like to know if this is a common problem with the Q7 and if there is a fix for it before I take in to service. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Posted same observation in my thread:
https://www.audiworld.com/forums/q7-...-mods-2901257/
Not sure if there is a "fix"... haven't addressed with dealer yet as it's not bothersome enough for me to take in just for this...
Please post if you get a resolution!
- Keep hearing wind noise from front windshield area when exceeding 50 mph. Mostly city driving so need to test at higher speeds but it seems odd for a vehicle of this caliber.

I'm really happy with the car (I came from a Land Rover Discovery (4) HSE Luxury (2014/2014) - AKA in the US as LR4), but two things could get better in the Q7 --> 1) The Rear Seat Entertainment System - LR's is way better than Audi's; and 2) The fridge you have in the front central arm rest of the LR is extremely convenient in any situation.
