oh, so they still whistle. I guess all roof racks whistle above a certain speed. How bad is it? I imagine it should be less than a system like the Evo Wingbar or the OEM style.

And if you could provide the thule part numbers. Would appreciate it. thanks
They whistle between 35mph and 60mph. Then I don't notice it after that. The whistle is barely audible while music is playing. I've had it on my car for two weeks now and it doesn't even notice it now unless I think about it.

The parts I got were the podium fit kit 4023 and the AeroBlade Edge 7603b.

When not in use I plan on removing the crossbars and I heard the whistle goes away when you're carrying the cargo box, so I'm not that worried about the whistle anymore.
