Default drivers side noise from passing traffic

2018 q5...what i consider excessive noise on driver side of car, on local roads.
when vehicles pass me going in the opposite direction im hearing more noise from them passing then i should.


my q5 was in the shop last week for a window issue. advisor said tech realigned driver door.
if he did nothing has changed. has this come up here before or has anyone else experienced it.

Had a similar issue on our Passat. One of the lower door seals was missing.

Huh? First this has ever been brought up. Q5 is known to be very quiet especially the Prestige.

I think the prestige comes with double glass on the driver and front passenger windows. You can tell if you have double glass by rolling down the window a little and looking at the top edge. The double glass is for soundproofing.

And it works very well--quietest car I've ever had, and noticeably quieter than my wife's A4, which is a P+
