Is this how you would explain your problems to a doctor?

Other than the radio, those sound like wind noises. Do they get worse or change the faster you go? If so, carefully inspect the exterior surfaces for damage, looseness, panel alignment, etc.  
Sometimes you can diagnose which interface (for example the door to the body) is causing the noise by (temporarily) placing tape over it. If the sound disappears, you know that’s where the sound is originating.
