Hey John,
Adding a wind fairing like the Rhino Rack # RRRF2 is going to help with the whistling noise. Now it wont completely eliminate it, as anything you add to the roof of the vehicle is going to make noise. However, it is going to help redirect that wind and reduce the noise you hear.
If the noise is bad I would definitely recommend a fairing, or a good playlist with the radio turned up! What are you mainly using the rack to carry?
