Some are more aerodynamic than others. But since you only can use them offroad, you should be going plenty slow enough to not have a problem.
That works if you don't mind carrying it in the passenger seat and installing it after you get to the trail. In the meantime, we still need to drive at speed to get to the trails.
Could you post a few pictures of the light bar installed so members can determine where the whistling (wind noise) is coming from ?
I have a lousy light bar from the previous owner. It has an aerolidz cover on it, I’m 99% sure it’s noisier with the cover. However, the plastic is piss yellow, that annoys me, so the cover stays on. It’s not unbearable, and at times it makes no noise
I just made a roof rack for my XJ and it "hummed" like I thought it might. I made a wind deflector for it and it solved the problem.
I'm in the process of making one for my LJ and will be using a light bar (no lights) for the front of it. Hopefully it won't be a problem but I'll do something similar if it does.

The only thing that matters is why it is making noise. Once we know what noise, then the solutions are basic and simple.
