Buzzing noise from A pillar

Whenever I reach a certain speed (typically highway speeds) or there is strong wind blowing, I get a consistent buzzing noise from the driver's side A pillar. It sounds like a leaf or something, but I don't see anything, nor does it look like anything could have gotten in there from outside. Any ideas?

I have this exact same sound ever since I got mine. Sounds almost like the window is slightly open but its not. I only hear it on the passenger side A pillar and only when I'm exceeding like 70 KM/H. I always thought it was due to my windshield not being properly installed/sealed because the dealer replaced it before I got the vehicle and they didn't use an OEM windshield. I been meaning to get it replaced with the OEM acoustic one but this one hasn't cracked or anything and I have kinda gotten used to the noise.

I just had my windshield replaced (AGC, OEM brand) Saturday and it didn't help. Seems like air is getting forced in elsewhere. I haven't spent much time trying to resolve it because by the time I pull into the driveway, I forget about it. I'll try to remember to take a closer look and will post back with my findings.

It's the rubber weather stripping type material underneath the silver trim that runs from the front to the back.

If you look closely, you will probably see where the rubber piece hits the paint. Paint will be worn, or wax removed.

I had this for a while, and keep forgetting to ask about a part number to order (cheaper from some dealers online than local...)

To temporarily solve, get other rubber stripping, or use a gum wrapper (that's all I had!) or something to push into the place where it's coming out. Wedge it back in there.
