Windshield wind noise

2015 Fit. My complaint is wind noise which seems to come from the windshield or front side windows. When I went to the dealer, they took it for a road test and concluded that it was totally normal for this vehicle. This is not acceptable to me, this is my 3rd Honda and I never experienced this annoying noise at 40mph. I understand this is not a high end car but still, there is competition for this size car and I dont think the consumer has to accept poor quality or design.
I am writing a complaint letter to Honda asking for a through inspection, it is not my job to take it apart and do an in depth analysis.

I will inform on the outcome on this site.

Is your noise complaint when the windows are open or closed?

Mine has exactly the same problem, but only above 70mph.
I went to Honda Uruguay and took their Test Drive Fit to the highway, noise was the same, I used a sound level meter to be objective, at 90mph sound level in the cabin was 93db C weighted.

My previous car was a Kia Sportage, my wife's car is a Peugeot 208, both are noticeably quieter above 70mph.

I usually keep my cars for several years (the Sportage was a 2005 model), but I surelly won't keep the Fit for so long because of this issue, I really love it as a city car though and it's unbeatable in space/convenience for it's size.
