My mechanics rode with me and confirm the wind noise (very nice guy and seems to be very experience in dealing with all kind of new car noise). He uses a very interesting analogy to describe the noise that he hears. It sound like a washing machine with agitator working for him once the car move over 70+ mph. He is checking to see what TSB is available for my car (produced in Jul 08..). One thing interesting is that apparently there is a TSB for earlier car that will remove the inside front door panel and they will cut out foam like meterial to insert in the front door to cut out the air path around the A pillar. That sound remarkably like JMC idea.. Will see how it go. But it give me confidence that I should try out the triangle fix and see if it will help (since Lexus is on the same path..just more expensive solution)..
