Default how do I reduce wind noise?

97 accord coupe LX. What can I do to reduce the wind noise? The right window and sunroof seems to be the making the most noise (when everything is closed of course).

Not sure there is much you can do unless the weatherstripping is bad.

was the vehicle ever in a wreck? is the window completely on track? if not, that could be a culprit.

car has never been in a reck. windows are on track it's just they're a lot louder than my dad's 01 accord. I can't really drive slower because the wind noise starts to get loud at 50mph.

wow .. such great advice ..

to identify where the wind noise is coming from , take some duct tape and tape the exact area where you feel the wind noise ...Is it frt or rear of window??
i have seen wind noises come from the outside mirror area, window run channels, misadjusted door
as for the moon roof it might need to be adjusted ..also chk to make sure it is not coming from the upper windshield molding .... again use duct tape to identfy the source

Ok I'll start that over the next couple of days and get back to you. From what I can tell it seems to be coming from the back of the window and front of the sunroof. I'll start duct taping those two places first and go from there.
