You’re not off to a good start.
The factory rack does not have ridiculous noise level by any stretch. Perhaps you’ve either:
-- installed a knockoff aftermarket rack that is not genuine LR
-- screwed up / improperly installed the rubber strips on top of the rack and created the problem by a bad install
-- you’ve installed it on one with a canvas convertible roof which is not approved
-- are driving with the sunroof open (duh - obviously there will be noise..)
-- or something else is up.
But a proper install on a truck with genuine rack, the noise is not a problem with the sunroof closed.

Then again, the only perceivable noise is wind noise reduced to the letter Fffffffff. I had a similar rack on my Jeep wrangler and that thing was howling like a gathering wolfe, so it was taken off and sold after the first road test.
