I have a little over 1,700 miles on my new Palisade Limited that I purchased about a month ago.I never heard any wind noise on mine. I do hear a little road noise from the rear at slower speeds and on certain road surfaces. Just yesterday I took a friend for a little ride and he mentioned how quiet it was..
I stopped by the dealer yesterday and the Service mgr. said they had one other complaint. They believe its a gap between the window and its gasket. The attached photo shows one area that doesn't have a good seal between the glass and the gasket. There are other areas forward which also don't have a nice compressed seal. The dealer indicated they will be ordering a new gasket and I go in on 9/16 to have it installed. Hope this works. I believe the window alignment can also be adjusted but probably requires removal of the door panel. I will let you know how this works out.-

My wife and I drove the new Palisade from Alabama to New Mexico and back earlier this month. We encountered numerous periods of what I think involves wind noise; however, there seemed to be two types of noise. One is the usual wind noise that one should expect when driving at higher speeds. The other was a noise best described as a humming sound that kicked in at 70 and above. The humming sound would go and come and seemed to involve wind speed and wind direction. Also, I noticed that the humming sound would go away when a vehicle passed us on the left side. When the vehicle had moved on, the humming sound returned. It seemed to me that the vehicle in the passing lane affected the wind flow in such a way that the humming noise was blocked temporarily.
I suspect that both noise sounds are related to defective door gaskets on the driver side. We never noted any high levels of wind noise on the passenger side.

I just returned from the dealership having completed the window gasket replacement. Unfortunately, this did not fix the problem. The shop foreman indicated this was a known problem and said you could take a new Palisade off the lot and observe this problem. He said they would initiate a case number and get a response from Hyundai engineers. Not sure why this hasn't been done already, but that is the state of my vehicle at this time.

@Mr68 thanks for the update. I did not get my gasket replaced. But i got the same answer you got from your foreman that they will raise a case with Hyundai engineers. I will see if i can call Hyundai directly and get this problem across.
Hopefully others can provide same info to Hyundai and that brings attention to this issue?

@carterdan, do you happen to know how to contact Hyundai directly? I would be happy to talk with them about my problem. Thanks.
