Whooshing sound coming from door seal while driving

When I'm accelerating rapidly or otherwise driving fast, there's a slight whooshing sound coming from the part where the door meets the rest of the car on the driver's side. Should I take it in to the dealer or can I fix it myself? It's not so bad but it's pretty annoying.

Is this a joke lol? It's your turbocharger. The swooshing sound is also known as BOOST.

No, I mean it's coming from the door, as if the seal between the door and the rest of the car is broken. I can tell the difference between that and the turbo, lol. Sorry if it sounded dumb at first glance.

I don't think it's the transfer case since the car has barely 800 miles. Yeah if it gets worse I'll take it to the dealer, they also need to pop out a ding that appeared after they put on my plates

I would have some air leaks at front windows on my Evo when I speed.
Try some silicon sprsy where the window meets the seal.
It seems to work for me.
