Can anyone recommend roof bars for a V70?
Had Atera roof bars but they whistled.

I have Thule WingBar Edge. Silent at motorway speeds. Worth every penny.

I've Thule wing and Thule square heavy duty.
The heavy ones are perfect for two big 17 canoes and the 100kg roof loading limit - one of the reasons we bought the car.
Wing bars work well with the bikes on, and are much quieter at speed.

There's a few options ranging from the very basic Halfords (usually) square bars that clamp on top of the existing roof rails and in turn these can be upgraded by Thule (usually) aero bars that are quieter at speed though things likes bikes or whatever else you bolt to them will likely make a noise anyway... then there's the Carlos Fandango wing bars that fit between the existing rains and are arguably the quietest, though again probably undone with a big roof box plus you lose a bit in usable width.
