Does anyone has any solution on how to minimize the road noise and/or wind noise?

Has anyone installed the wind deflector yet? Are they useful, in terms of decreasing the wind noise?

Anyone has any suggestions?
Thanks
Question to the original poster. Do you have the moonroof? Is it possible you have a leak in the moonroof seal? I had a bad seal in the moonroof of my 94 Ford Explorer, and it sounded like a whistle when I got up to highway speeds. Once the service dept replaced the seal, everything was fine. Also, the wind deflector accessory is only useful if you have the moonroof, the purpose is to deflect the wind over the open moonroof so the wind doesn't come shooting into the car, it's not really useful if you have a solid roof.
