Light bar making impossible noise

So yesterday I fixed a 42" light bar on the roof, and as soon as I reached about 55 miles it started to make a very loud vibration noise ( not whistle ). I thought maybe I should remove the roof part ( the one that has NISSAN on it ) and It worked, so problem solved but the car looks ugly. any suggestions or solutions will be highly appriciated?

Thank you

My guess is the air flowing over the light bar is creating a wave that interacts with the Nissan panel and happens to excite a harmonic in the panel resulting in the vibration. I would try fitting a flat panel between the top of the light bar and the Nissan panel.
