I can't take credit for this, I saw the post on reddit, but I just can't find the link.
I had a whistling sound between 45-60 MPH the seemed to be coming from the rear passenger door. The door was misaligned and rivian fixed it, but the whistling persisted.
A poster on Reddit said the whistling he heard as well stopped when he placed painters tape over the leading strut edges of the cargo cross bars where there is a seam.
I took off my cross bars -- went for a drive. Whistle gone.
Put cross bars back on---went for another drive. Whistle returned
Put electrical tape on the leading edge seam of my cross bars as pictured below-- went for a drive. Whistle has been gone since.
The electrical tape is barely noticible, at some point I may just try to fill the front seam with clear silicone. Just can't believe this actually worked. Hope it helps someone else, again not my idea just passing it along.
