Wind Noise on 02 Avant
Love my new Pearl White A6 Avant, but it seems to develop wind noise above 35 mph - At 60 with the stereo off, it sounds like the defroster is running.
More so than the test drives I remember. Or is the rest of the car that much quieter that I now notice the wind?
Suggestions?

Can you locate area? Wind noise is much less on my S6 than '00 2.7T
which sometimes had a faint whistle coming from front drivers dash vent (approximately). It even seemed louder when the sunroof or a rear window was "cracked" open. The S6 doesn't have this. My S6 is has tire noise that becomes noticable above 50.

I find the default (four notch )HVAC fan to be the background noise in my S6
at low to moderate speeds when the stereo is off. Its amazing how much noise that fan makes on that setting considering how little air its actually moving.
At higher speeds, depending on pavement the background varies between tires and air.

On further inspection, there is a 2mm gap
between the windshield and overlapping black trim on inside edge of the A pillar.
should that gap be carrying a gasket?
there's also a varying gap, 0 to .75mm where the chrome trim follows the outside of the A pillar up and along the roof edge. Very un-German.

Are you referring to the outside of the car..
under the black trim on the sides of the windshield. There should be a rubber seal under there which is about 5mm recessed at the windshield plane and about 10 mm recessed at the plane where it meets the black trim. But yes, there is a notable gap for the first 5mm under that trim. (If we're talking about the same place)
