Default 2002 wind noise

I have a 4 door 2002 civic and am getting loud wind noise from the drivers side. I don't feel any air coming through and I tried putting tape over the seam between the door and the car body on the outside with no change in the noise.

Any suggestions on what to try ?

It might be coming from your door handle.

that happened to me before it was because the door weather seal part was torn and air went through it try checking that or put more pressure on your driver side window

honestly, its the door seam. there isnt a proper seal between the rubber door seal and the door jam. this happened to me when i once locked my key in my car and i had to have a tow truck driver get it open for me. they used a wedge and a pump wedge to slightly open the door enough to slide a metal rod and press the unlock button. the pump wedge bends the doors frame around the window a little. you kinda just have to bend it back. just grab the top corner of your door while standing on the inner side of the door and while holding the door open with your leg or something, just pull the corner towards you. dont pull too hard. just pull hard enough to fix it. drive around a bit and see if that fixes it. kind of a silly way to fix something but hell, it worked for me.
