Default sound at speed??

Hi, I know this is kind of dumb but why does the ammount of wind noise vary from car to car?

I mean in my old alfa 75 the wind noise wouldn t bother me until i was doing 120+ kph. in the mk3 fiesta i had it would start at around 100 kph maybe 110, and in my mk4 cortina it starts at around 70-80 kph

does this have to do with aerodynamics and car stability at high speed??

also i ve owned and or driven quite a range of different cars and the speed at which the wind noise starts to be loud and irritating varies from one to another.

I m talking just the wind noise not suspention squeaks or the sound of bumps and potholes or the engine. just that kind of whisling the wind makes against your car when driving
