Loud wind noise. Any ideas?

Hi all,
My car started making noise immediately after we picked it up. I can't pinpoint where it's coming from other than somewhere on the passenger back side window. Any ideas on what might cause this? I've got an appointment at the dealership in a couple of weeks but would love to figure it out before the car goes it.

Thanks!

I'm hearing wind noise and a buzzy noise so I'm not sure what's ambient exhaust or whatever. I had a Mercedes that when a heat shield on the underbody bent downward into the airflow it sounded like a passenger side door or winfow seal was defective. So check everything even gas door. One trick is to use tape at different locations around windows, doors, trunk seam - wherever to listen if the noise stops.

Great ideas, thank you. The buzzing noise is what I'm hearing. It's particularly loud when the wind is blowing or I'm driving at 60+ MPH.

I found that the rubber that the glass seals with was slightly dry and a very small amount of silicone/rubber grease solved it

mind taking a picture and showing? Do you mean where the door glass go up into the seal when you close the door?
