i got the same issue before, turns out there is a small gap from the rubber side door panel seals (almost near the dashboard side). i took some hot melted glue to seal off the gap. it worked.

i don't think vent might sounded like whistling cause they got to be smaller holes to whistles. but i'm not really sure, try to look for side mirror opening or maybe one of your rubber door seals.

hope it helped.
