Default Wind Sound

Hi all, I just got my 2019 Durango GT AWD (2020 commercial year in Chile) and I’m coming from a 2013 Durango Citadel V6 and I’ve noticed an annoying exterior wind sound in both driver and passenger side that is not present in my 2013. Took it to the dealer and they said that no filtration was found and is caused by the side mirrors, tried to fold the mirrors but still can feel the sound, I don’t know if I’m paranoic because of the new car (is my first brand new car) and maybe the 2019 has a quiter cabin than the 2013 so the wind noise is more noticeable.
Any thoughts?

Wind noise diagnostics:

Get some painters tape and start taping windows, cowl, etc. Drive it, if the sound is still there, keep taping. Eventually you will find out whats causing it. Alternative is to turn the radio up.

Did they call the wind Mariah? (Sorry, no caffeine yet today and I'm a bit silly. Well, I'm silly anyway, but I'm not an awake silly.) Wind noise is difficult to track down. Like jkeaton said, use some painters tape to seal cracks until you find where the noise is. Be sure to use painters tape and take it off after a drive. I remember when the third generation Ram trucks came out, the antenna would vibrate. The problem with sound is it can travel. The source can cause a vibration that comes out elsewhere. Try opening the windows a crack and varying the width of the opening while driving.
