Interesting, SC believes that PPF on the side mirrors contributes to wind noise. Has anyone else heard this?

Nope. Unless it’s flapping around, I’d tell SC to continue investigating.

Same, and I’ve had PPF everywhere, including but not limited to the side mirrors, since my car was delivered.
Said that it changes the speed of the airflow around the mirror. Stated that testing has been done with/without PPF. I was quite shocked to hear this. Not sure I believe it either, but just reporting what they told me this morning. I’m 100% PPF’ed.

I’ve never heard of PPF changing anything like this. Mine are PPF’d and ceramic coated, so they are very slick.

Same. I can’t speak to non-ceramic coated, I suppose.
My car is a lease, I have neither ceramic nor PPF. I had no whistle for over a year, then it just showed up one day. No idea what changed, but it wasn't any kind of coating or film.

If not already done, perhaps this TSB will solve your wind noise problem. It solved mine.

Has there been a solution to this? 2025 Air 60mph and higher has a very annoying whistle.

I’ve come to ignore it. The wind noise coming from upper part of the driver’s window comes and goes.
It’s more likely to happen, and more pronounced, when I first drive the car away from my house, where my car has been garaged. The whistling, wind rush noise becomes muted and sometimes goes away completely, the longer I drive the car.
