My A4 is pretty quiet as far as wind noise goes, except a faint,
intermittent whistle emanating from the driver side view mirror.
This only occurs at around 70mph and only when the wind flow is a
certain way, and I hear it only when my stereo isn't playing.
I also notice wind noise when there is very strong crosswind gusts.

Was the sunroof or any window open in the car you drove?  That
could explain the wind noise...
