R56 Noise coming from passenger side (front)

Noise coming from passenger side (front)
So my car has been trouble free (aside from some rattles) since I got it in May, but today I noticed upon start that there was a very weird, growling like noise coming from the front passenger side. My brother thinks it sounds like a small exhaust leak, but I have no idea since I've never heard one.
It doesn't seem to be doing it now, but I felt it at high speeds on the highway. I thought the tire on the passenger side could've been a little loose, but no, everything is fine.
Has anyone dealt w/ this? If it is an exhaust leak, could this leave me stranded? I can't get it to the dealer to get looked at till next Sat. b/c of work.
Thanks in advance
Oh, car has about 4500 miles on it if it matters. I actually remember reading a thread about someone having a similar prob. and just cleaning out a part and it was fine. Prob. is I can't find the thread or remember the part

Growling, aye? Probably a raccoon caught in the door.
If it is an exhaust leak into the passenger chamber, it wont leave you stranded, just dead from carbon monoxide poisoning. If it is just leaking to the outside it might not do any harm, but could mean that something is loose or broken that shouldn't be.
