I am having this problem and the dealer has been absolutely no help. My neighbor bought one too. It helps to have the recycle air button on.
My black spot is more in the middle.
A Hyundai Tech Specialist came out to the dealership and drove the car for 2 days. They ended up ordering all new window door seals but they will not be in until the end of November. We are back to driving it with annoying wind and whistle noise. I’m not confident they know what’s going on or that replacing all of them will fix the issue, but time will tell.

We are experiencing the same problem with our new Palisade; however, we noticed the wind noise reduced drastically when the air recirculation button was turned on. This may diagnose the problem as a bad seal around a damper in lieu of a bad door seal though one may effect the other.
Can you please share your experience now? Is it still good for you after the fix by Hyundai?
The noise finally annoyed my wife to the point I got tasked with troubleshooting it again last night. After an hour and a half of taping the outside and making several runs on the highway without any success I turned my attention to the door panel. Ended up finding a gap where the vertical window seal (green) meets the horizontal window track seal (red); the yellow circled area. A small gap here was responsible for my loud wind noise and whistle.
To isolate this spot I simply tucked a piece of weatherstripping (got a 20’ piece from Lowe’s for $3) into the gap between the door panel and window. A picture of the seal and where to install it is attached. Note the seal I bought was white but I can only find the black version on Lowe’s website, it’s the same 3/8” round seal though.
To access these window seals I had to remove the door panel which is held on by one screw through the door handle. Ended up putting a piece of foam weatherstripping between the two to seal the gap and stop the noise. The door panel pinches the seal in this area so it shouldn’t open back up anytime soon. Always sucks working on a car that’s under warranty but good news is I dont have to drop it off at the dealership again.
Best of luck to those dealing with a similar wind noise and I hope this helps those with the same.

I had the same problem with my Palisade, and it's only on the driver side. It is a high whistling sound that hurt my ears. It is currently at the dealership where they replaced the window seal, which didn't help, and are going to tape the car up and drive it. Then remove a piece of the tape until they find out what is causing the problem.
So.. now that it's been a couple weeks- is the fix working?
Make sure you report to Hyundai- https://owners.hyundaiusa.com/content/myhyundai/us/en/contact-us/create-new-case.html
I'm hoping if they get enough reports, they will put some engineers on this and figure out a fix for the dealers to implement. Would be an awesome car without the whistle!

Just dropped my Ultimate off at the dealership and they are going to try this method of repair. I’ll let you know how it turns out later today.

Also filed a notice. My noise starts at 25mph with a whistle and most other times just sounds like the door is not quite closed.
So here's the write up of the work order to try to repair the wind noise. Have to admit it's better but certainly not 100% fixed. The service tech said they have had more complaints about the noise and that Hyundai Canada is working on a solution. The drama continues !!

Mine is also experiencing the wind noise issue. As others have noted, by applying pressure to inside door panel, noise is reduced or stops, but can't drive that way for long distances. It gets very annoying and bothersome. Spoke to my dealer today about it and they looked at it for loose weatherstripping. Said that Hyundai should come out with TSB on it. Hoping a fix is found soon. Love my vehicle, hate the noise.

we just picked up our limited awd on saturday. we had previously test drove a SEL that had the wind/whistle that was very loud and annoying. our limited does not have it at all. drove 200 miles yesterday a mixture of mountain and freeway driving up to 80mph with no noise. we are happy about that.

LUCKY YOU! We have a Limited and the whistle can get LOUD... and even when it's just a milder air leak (sounds like the window is slightly open, though it's not), it is annoying... I hope they solve this. Very frustrating, especially for $50K.
