it's a breadbox with lot's of added on parts that are very much not aerodynamic - what do you expect ? are you saying you think the noise is coming from the running boards ?.......

yup - lot's of issues in design there once going over 40 I'd bet. I never understood that bit of kit- it offers almost no useable light for a huge penalty in noise....

My stock 2002 G500 has terrible wind noise above 60 mph, whatever you’re experiencing is probably due to the added height and accessories. I just turn the music up!

OP... You have so much stuff added to that G, I am surprised it doesn't scream like a siren going down the road.

Anyone with wind noise issues, where it is, or might be, coming from the door seal... Check your seals. I had a wind noise on the upper left of my driver door. I carefully examined the rubber door trim and found a lot of it wasn't even attached! It looked like it was, but when I pulled it... It came off/out. I bought some weatherstripping glue and had at it. Apply thin coat, put in place, slam door, wait til morning.

Then I fell back to an old trick... Gummi Pflege (available on Amazon)... I have been using it for the past 15 years. One little bottle will last a lifetime on pretty much every car you own... Though the sponge applicator will eventually rot... You can apply then with a microfiber towel. Anyway.... Gummi Pflege works its way into the door seal and expands it slightly... Sealing the gap where wind noise can occur.

After re-gluing my door seals and applying several generous coats and letting them dry... I am wind noise free!

Ditto this - i've used it on my landcruisers for years and it's a great investment..... and black painters tape may also help find some of the areas around the spoiler that are creating noise... I found that my un-replaced from foglight panels create a whistle at 75 +..... working to waterjet the new parts and Baja lights for them this weekend.

A second thought - I did a Scoobie STI hood-scoop on my 80 series LC to fit to an Intercooler I was planning to install ( that kit went unobtanium sadly) but until I cut the hole into the hood for the airflow it was crazy noisy..... I don't think the Brabus setup vents ?
