While driving above 50 and the noise is there, push on the windshield a little to see if the noise increases. It sounds like you may need a new or re-installed windshield. Here is one more thing. Do you have a sunroof? If so make sure it all the closed. I thought I had a seal in the windshield and it was just my sunroof being open just a c-hair.

I have the same problem only mine starts whistling at 75mph+ so dealership wont troubleshoot because they don't want to drive over the speed limit. I believe it comes from the door, possibly the rubber seals leaking air at speed due to difference in air pressure between the inside of your car and outside air. Still waiting to for a solution to this from a forum member.
