Wind Noise. What is acceptable in a new car?

This is NOT a flame… just a question.

What amount if WIND NOISE is acceptable on a NEW car?
I get a SLIGHT wind noise from both windows generally at speeds over 45.
It is SLIGHT… a whisper maybe. I don’t even notice it if the radio is on unless I hit a big gust of wind. (I'm driving with the radio off a LOT because I like to listen to the engine… it is such a sweet song.)
Its more like a leak than a real noise… just kind of annoying because my ear is about 6 inches from the window (driver side, my head aint big enough to be 6 inches from the pass side too).

Anyhoo… my wifes '04 F150 doesn’t have wind noise at all BUT it has a full window frame.

I'm just kinda wondering if I should take it in for a checkup or turn up the radio.

Windshield=10" vertical
mirror= 3 7/8" (that's almost 4") vertical
that means that the mirror is 38.75% the size of the vertical windshield...
it sure seems like the ratio could be better... just sayin....
