Annoying Sound Next to Driver's Ear

Has anyone noticed a sound coming from near where the top of the driver's seat belt attaches? I hesitate to even really call it a rattle. It's more of a vibration noise. It isn't too bad, but because the rest of the car is so quiet, it's driving me crazy. I can hear it when the music is turned down. It's not very loud, but it's right by my ear.

I'll ask the dealer if they can hear it when I take it in for service, but I'm curious if it's common.

Are you sure it's not coming from the passenger side headliner? Even if it's on your side, it might still be the headliner. There seems to be glue up there that grabs and lets go constantly, creating a kind of clicking noise....it drove me crazy. Do a search, I fixed it by stuffing a shop rag in between the roof and the headliner to cushion it.
