Default Roof racks noise

Hi everyone, so I recently put up the racks on the roof....it was easy but now when the speed is over say 100km/h, there is this high pitch noise almost like blowing whistle.

obviously I assumed this is caused by the rack bars, I am curious for those who also had the rack put up, do you have the same experience?

Would it make a difference if I asked the dealer to set it up?

Thanks everyone!

Yes this is normal I have it too. There is only one way to mount the racks, perfectly normal to have wind noise. If you're not using them for an extended period of time remove them.
