Bzzzzzz....

There is a faint buzzing sound that seems to eminate from the shoulder-high hole on the side wall from which the driver's seat belt is dispensed. It happens when going over roads with a rough surface. Anyone else?
I'd like confirmation that this isn't just my imagination.

Trying locking your doors. Had something similar and it seems to be something about the door lock.

They lock automatically because you have it set that way...you can change it (rtfm).

Try unlocking the doors. The door lock pin buzzed on my car when my doors were locked.

I've got about two others but it's not as bad as my xB was so I'm not worried about it.

I've got some that I can only hear in the cool mornings and then go away once the car sits in the sun. Of course once the inside is warm I have another set of buzzings. I don't really notice them anymore though...

Thanks for the tip about the door lock. That's clearly where the buzzing sound is coming from. I'll have it fixed when I go for an oil change.
