Air leak sound inside car

I have a 2001 Maxima SE. When riding down the road, you can hear what seems to be an air leak inside the car. I have checked the weather stripping around the doors and the windows are all the way up. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Also would like to get some ideas on a set of wheels for my car. It has the factory wheels now but looking to upgrade. Any ideas?

Car is black with 20% tint, will post pic tomorrow.

Thanks,
Randy

Could be coming from your windshield. I had that problem because I used to put my license plate on the dash and would wedge it deep between the dash and windshield.

Well if its coming from the rear windows which is known on our cars then here is a write-up on how to fix it. http://www.shiftice.com/window_wind_noise.html

Interior noise is pretty common. I tried to fix it without much luck.

You should be able to track the origin (at least the window) very easily, if you are actually having issues have a friend listen around thec ar while youre driving.

Sorry, it was me creating the wind noise... my bad!




All joking aside, do you have any aero add-ons like window ventshades or a ventshade on your sunroof?
