R56 Buzzing noise

Hello.I started to hear some kind of buzzing noise coming from door (Driver side). Anybody have a clue where it is actually coming from? How hard is it to remove the door panel? Thanks.

Is it coming from the driverside toward the rear of the car?

Not sure if this is your problem or not, but I had a buzzing sound as well (as soon as I got the car) and I figured out it was coming from the seat belt anchor right behind the drivers seat. All I did was rest the corner of the rear floor mat up on top of where the seat belt bolts into the floor, and problem solved.

Mine seems like it is coming from the same place you mentioned above. Simply when I put my hand over it, i don't hear the buzzing sound. Can you explain again how you fixed yours? I don't really understand what you meant by "rest the corner of the rear floor mat up on top of where the seat belt bolts into the floor". Thanks.

Sure.

The first picture is the floor mat with normal placement. The second picture is with the corner of the floor mat resting on top of the connecting point of the seat belt mount.

I tried your way but it still buzz. I think it is coming from the actual plastic piece behind the seat belt anchor....
