Wind noise

Has anyone found or have an esthetically pleasing solution the the buffetting wind noise that you get with the windows down or even just open a bit above about 40mph in a Vantage .
I like to drive with the windows open , no stereo on just the V8 philharmonic orchestra out the rear but the wind noise is brutal at highway speed .
And NO im not trading it for a roadster , if I want to drive a convertible I can jump in one of my Healeys .

having only one window open seems to help drastically but yeah, its definitely unpleasant at higher speeds, one of the things I don't like about the car because I love to drive with my windows down to hear the exhaust note as well

I think my solution will be to get a louder exhaust so I can hear it with the windows barely open

I've found that the booming can be reduced by changing how far down the window is lowered. About half way eliminates it for me.
