Default Whistling noise with windows down

This is my first single can truck so maybe this is common, but when I put both windows down and get above like 20mph I can hear a very high pitched whistling. Is this how single can trucks are because there's just not much cabin room, or is my back window leaking possibly?

It's definitely coming from inside the cab, like wind noise. Can I put a head of clear silicone around the back window?

You are driving a Dodge Ram, and our trucks are about as Aerodynamic as a Brick with Wheels.

What you Might be experiencing is wind coming through the top portion of the door seal, you should inspect your door seals and look for dry-rotting of that black weather stripping type seal. That is the most common.

Also with some trucks there is a whistling noise from the side mirrors...

Sliding glass window is also a possibility... pain in the *** to do.
