Default WIND NOISE! Tricks to find where its coming from?

Ive got a descent bit of wind noise coming from the rear of my car, and I hate it. I cant tell where because when Im driving, I cant go to the back of the car, but it may be the hatch or rear window, the fronts also seem to make noise @ 50+ but I cant pinpoint it.

Is there any tricks like with smoke or anything to pinpoint the location?

most likely your windshield is leaking or the windows don't seal all the way being that an old car check your weather stripping front and rear.

ok, two ways here, one the easiest, is take the car, start it, set the blower to full high speed, and make sure its NOT set to recirculate, then close all doors and windows, and take a spray bottle, and fill it with soapy water, spray all over the outside, thoroughly getting in all body seams and gaps, and when you find a big bullbe thats gets bigger really fast, [may have to reaplly the soap] then thats your air leak, or take some duck tape or preferably painters tape, and tape off one thing at a time, and once one thing is eliminated, tape off another, leave the first tape on, and drive again, when you can drive and its either REALLY different or gone, you may have found it!!
