Default Rain + B-pillar noise

Im only asking because i havent noticed this noise before and its raining today but im starting to hear basically every rain drop that hits the b-pillar. This is from hwy speeds to regular 35-40mph speeds on street roads. Does anyone have this problem? I find it quite annoying that i can hear all this noise in my left ear. Turning my music to 45 doesnt help too

I think you are just paranoid.
Kidding, I have no clue about the noise you speak of. Can you elaborate or record the sound?

I hear the rain tapping on my B-pillar too, along with the rain tapping on my windshield, hood and roof...

Crazy weather today huh. I finally get a chance to use my heated seats. They don't get that hot..
