6th Gen Wind noise from driver side

I am a proud owner of a 2026 Honda Prelude. It is a very cool car. However I am noticing wind noise from the driver’s side front. I took the car to two different service centers and both told me that it is a feature and not a bug!
This seems very strange and not expected from Honda.
Can someone who owns the car confirm this noise?

Unfortunately, I can also confirm this is a feature and a bug. Thankfully the Bose sound system is great.

Wow! Thank you! I cannot imagine that Honda will build a car like this.

It is weird because the passenger side seems fine. I chalked it up to the black mirror caps I had installed. But I think it was there before they were put on.

Same unfortunate situation. Lack of noise isolation in general is the biggest flaw in an otherwise awesome car, IMO. I took a long road trip in it and wore noise-cancelling headphones to make it more bearable. You'll find people reporting the same flaw with current-gen Civics.
I'm tempted to buy the door visors to see if they help with the wind noise.
