I tried the one discussed earlier; the one in the link you provide appears to cover more gaps. I DIYd the frunk area with similar insulation strips but never tested the sound level with a meter.
Before I invest in any kit intended to reduce wind noise by filling/covering openings or discontinuities in the exterior body shell I’ll do a relatively fast and inexpensive test using thin adhesive tape to cover them all.

I’ll use a sound meter to get sound level measurements before making any changes. Next, I’ll tape up all the exterior areas where the kit applies. Then, I’ll re-measure the sound levels. If there is no substantial change the kit would likely be ineffective; if there is improvement I’ll remove the tape, one area at a time, measuring the source to localize the problem areas. My guess is that there won’t be much improvement or if there is it will only be a few areas involved.

You guys should hit up @CT_AZ_4x4. He did an amazing job dust sealing his tailgate and it’s squeaky clean in there.
My door seals have done nothing for noise. I still like them for how they changed the door close thunk. Less tinny/ringy.
