I don't know of any car that has laminated windows as standard. Windshield for sure, but other windows are tempered.

In the Panamera i actually drove with a technician and he taped different door seals until a boot seal was found. It cured the problem 95%, but never totally. Do you have factory tinted rear windows? If you have, could the problem be that the noise is heared from the non laminated rear windows? I was afraid sounds might enter the ca in through rear windows so took full lamination and will retrofit tint and also dropped sunroof, as it is sadly also not laminated. I also took the double laminated heated front windshield.

Even harder to find a laminated sunroof, so far Tesla the only one.

No, the windows were green, laminated - according to the dealer - and the dealer installed a darker film in each window, including the back window and a lighter film in the panoramic sun roof (no film installed in the windshield for obvious reasons).

In Brazil the installation of these films is extremely common and the dealer offer them for free when you buy the car.

Do you have ventilated seats? Because when mine are on and running it sounds like a faint wind noise, and it's a little hard to pinpoint exactly where it's coming from. I had to turn the ventilated seats on and off to confirm that's what it was.

No, I don't. Unfortunately Audi does not offer them in Brazil.

New owner here. I am also having the dreaded drivers side window wind noise. Have there been any definitive fixes?

Make sure that you are not simply hearing your Roof Rack... When I have the roof rack installed, I get more noise.
