Vent wings vs. No vent wing windows

Love the vent windows, but I'll have to admit something. I sealed mine shut with clear silicone to get rid of the whistle.
When I was driving my Dart home from Iowa I was amazed at how quiet it was. I had no radio and no muffler but at highway speeds it was so quiet. My 2005 Silverado sounds like standing in a wind tunnel compared to the dart. It was rainy and I even used the vent windows to stop the window from fogging. Even with the vent open it was quiet. Vent windows are a marvel of engineering.

Oh, and I think they look cleaner without them but weird at the same time.
