The best way to fix is to replace the rubber weather molding on that door side....That happens usually when someone tries to break into your car using a jimmy or coat hanger at the top of the door and then that rubber molding is disturbed and no longer holds air from coming in....Try Opening your door and you will see the rubber that the door shuts on and creates the air tight seal...Look at the area where the noise is coming from and inspect the rubber mess with it stretch it outwards and that might work temporarily...Like I said either a theft attempt or accident can cause those door seals to fail, they should hold up well for years and years....

I had the same issues with my 98 and after doing some homeowrk here, the wind noise is a common issue/problem with these year models. You can replace the $160 moldings (each, I did) and you can almost get rid of it, but not 100%.

So case in point, common issue and I would save the money and try and live with it. That is why Toyota, when back to frames on there windows in like 2002 or 2003.
