Drivers door is bent out at the top. Quite common on Volvos and Renaults.
Bit of wood in the hinge side, around where the window opening starts, and given it a couple of good hard rugs inwards. Should bend the door just enough

The top door hinge need adjusting. The top of the door over time bends causing it. Wind noise on the FH is a common issue. Also the window glass doesn't always fully go up. Volvo say that's how it should be

Had a windscreen replaced. Seals between panel black panel below screen and screen its self not sitting properly. Hammerd in correctly and all OK.
Light bar could also cause, loop rope around spiral across bar to disrupt air flow, if it makes difference some where to start. Rope works on car roof racks as well.

Could not really see it, but put some thin rope in gap and it was almost gone, asked for screen to be checked by replacement Co. Put panel back properly and all quite again.

It's the light bar that's causing it...

Try “Climair” for door wind deflectors. Not saying it’ll help much if at all. But worth getting some anyway. They just slot in rather than bolt in. Handy if yer changing wagons regularly. Cos there noisy. It’d do my head in as well. I still haven’t got used to the forestry tyres warring like hell on mine

Easy fix just put some silicon sealant in the gap around the screen and it would fix it for good.

Them chrome mirror guards can cause whistling as can the roof kelsa
Also that piece of wind deflector on the roof missing can make a huge difference

I’d hazard a guess that the aerodynamics are upset slightly by the lightbar and the steel mirror protectors.
