Expert Reply:

The only solution to reducing wind noise on a roof rack, like your Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars 54" # RRVA137B-2, is to install a wind fairing / deflector. To determine which size to get, measure the usable crossbar space between the crossbar's mounting legs as seen in the illustration I made for you. If this distance is 30-1/2" or more then you can use Rhino-Rack Fairing 38" # RRRF2. If this distance is 26" or more then go with Rhino-Rack Fairing 32" # RRRF1. I attached demonstration videos for you.
