Some wind noise is generated by the mirrors on the early vehicles...there was a design change to reduce this. If its coming from the a pillar area look to see if your mirrors have a little spoiler on the bottom of them.

 

i have a 06 v6 and there are no spoilers on the mirrors

 

its subtle...I'll take a photo of my two so you can see the difference.

 

Here are pictures of the mirror with no spoiler (black mirror), and with the spoiler (blue mirror). The black plastic piece at the bottom of the blue mirror is what I'm referring to.

, thanks so much for the photos , i don't have the extra piece on mirrors

 

Have you tried to put some tape over the gap of the door in different positions to see if you can narrow it down to a certain area:?:

 

mirrors , using tape to eliminate gaps


thats a great idea , i like the thinking out of the box approach

 

You'd think that those "triple seals" would do the job. There shouldn't be any open gaps with rubber seal missing anywhere around your doors gaps period. I guess the tape approach would serve to see if there are any areas where the rubber sealing ain't making full contact for some reason or other.

 

When did all this suddenly start? Or was it always there since initial ownership?

 

i bought my v6 06 in aug this past summer preloved 30000 miles mint condition and noticed it almost right away , i do mostly street driving ,dealer tightned strike plate and same thing ,i saw previous owners service notes from my vw service and they complained about same thing

 

Do what pottsyuk said, but try it also around the window glass edge where it meets with the door. I had the EXACT same problem on the Passat AFTER they replaced the door latch mechanism. It turned out, that the mechanic did not align the window glass properly on its tracks or something like that, even though it still managed to go up and down. The window never made full contact with the "felt" material when in full close position, and air would seep by. Barely enough to feel it, but enough to hear it. I brought it back in, they realigned the window glass, and all was good afterwards.

Hope 1/10 chance that is your problem.
