No matter how aerodynamic roof rack crossbars are they are going to make noise. Some make more noise than others and some things can make the noise worse. You mentioned that you have the Euro style bars. These square bars are second only to round bars in terms of the amount of noise they produce. There isn't a way around it unless you were to add a fairing such as # RRRF4.
