Default Whistle while you drive?

Okay, I think most of you know me by now. I've posted enough I think. My new question is...when driving down the freeways there is heavy whistling in my car. I'm thinking that could be something to do with the seals for the windows? Am I on the right track? If so, how can I fix that?

Most likely it is your window or sunroof seals that's leaking. That's been an ongoing complaint, and that's why they changed the design on '02 and up ES's

Not sure about the moonroof seal, but a door seal part quote is about $80, and to me it's not worth to replace the door seals when by design, they will not guarantee elimination of the whistling of the doors in the ES

The windows could also be a bit off alignment. It usually happens when you shut the door by pushing on the window. Eventually they will get a bit off track. Im guessing the whistling noise is coming mostly from the driver side window. I have the same sound, gonna go in there one day to see if the tracks are loose or something.
