Wind Noise?

Just picked up GLC300 last week and noticing louder than expected wind noise (driver's door/window) once above 50-60 mph. Anybody else noticed this, or its just my car issue?
Thanks!

Yep, had that problem. Lot's of talk here on that topic. My dealer's solution was to replace both front side windows with acoustic glass, and that did actually work.

Thanks to both for prompt replies!
Just checked and found that only windshield is acoustic glass; front windows are not. Trip to dealer is the next...
