Driver Side Noise

I've been noticing a new noise coming from the driver side door. While driving it sounds like it is coming from somewhere either around the handle all the way up to the speaker. I can't pin point it yet.

It's like a buzzing noise, as if I would have something plastic sitting in the cubby hole of the door and it was vibrating (don't know if anyone has noticed this type of noise before). It's not loud, but I do notice it when the radio is on, so it might be the speaker itself.

Any one else hear this or know what I'm talking about?

Woolaroc,

I confirmed that Austin will be calling you before the end of the day today. Please let me know via PM if you want me to forward any additional details to him.

OK The speaker's functionality isn't the issue, but it does sound like either the door handle or the speaker is loose. I am taking the X to get the A-Pillar fixed and will have them look at this as well. Hopefully they are able to pinpoint it.
