Trapped Wasp in Drivers window seal?

(While Driving) Does Anybody else experience in the drivers window seal a strange noise that sounds like ... well some kind of insect being trapped? I would like to know cos I could probably fix it myself with something if I could pinpoint where its coming from.

bzzzzzzzz

well here is how I find those things if it is wind noise. I get out the masking tape and apply it to the suspected location and then go for a drive. some times need a friend to tape up after I get in the car. Don't use duct tape!!
it may take a few tries but it is cheap.

Great description of the same noise that has been bugging me. I have not had time to try masking tape or bother the dealer yet. Any luck yourself de-bugging this issue?
