Do a search in the H3 forums. It is likely the roof moldings.

It normal dude, but yours sound like a serious problem. I have a 08 Alpha. You rarely hear wind nose, unless on a windy *** day. More traffic nose then wind. Just crank up the music.

I have had a wind noise from almost the begining when dealer started working on issues with my car. I complained a few times but they never did anything about it, they just state its normal for a box shaped heavy car. Lots of BS as other H3 have a lot less noise.

I had the same issue when I had my winshield replaced last week. Follow the link and use the 3m tape. It solved my wind noise issues.

To add. My H3 I purchased a couple weeks ago have the wind noise at 30mph and up. I did notice the upper corner moldings of windshield is not resting on the glass. I went to car wash and spray hi pressure water around the windshield area to find no leaks. Then I found this thread and a few others. Went to a Chevrolet dealership that service the Hummers and found that the moldings are going to be replaced under warranty with new ones in a few days. Hopefully that will cure the problem. Until then i'll post an update. Thank goodness it is still under the 4/50k mile bumper to bumper warranty.
