Hey Charee, so the Malone AirFlow2 roof rack part number # MAL74AR that you referenced is a quieter roof rack due to the aero shape of the bars but basically all roof racks add some noise. This style is by far the quietest though. Another thing you can try is have the crossbars as far back on the roof as possible as that typically helps reduce noise.

Fairings like the part # TH82WV direct the air over the crossbars too which helps reduce sound as well.
