Default Ticking noise from B-Pillar on driver side

Hi everyone,
Anybody experiencing constant ticking noise from B-Pillar? My vehicle 450H makes it constantly as long as the vehicle engine is on (not on hybrid model). It happens on driving and park conditions... so annoying!

I ha a ticking kind of noise on my old rx. I played around with the seat belt up/down adjustment and it would go away. However it never went away permanently. It would come back ever so often. Yours sounds different because it happens when you're in park. I know what you mean by annoying.

Default B Column Vibration Noise

Hi guys. This is specific for B Column ticks/rattle sounds. How much of it is normal? I know there are a lot of things inside the B column such as seat belt and airbag mechs, but since it's right beside your left year, it's awesomely annoying to hear any noise from it. I usually hear some ticking/rattling noise it when going over bumpy roads or song with deep bass sound. Am I too crazy to complain over this?

Ok, I was just told that there is a similar thread, sorry. But if it is present, will Lexus do anything about it? Or make it worse trying to fix it? I've seen some people post instructions on how to fix it on older Rx models... basically taking it apart and filling it with expanding foam!

Mine had the tick the first week I got the car... right behind my ear.. It drove me nuts. Then I got frustrated and started to hit the whole pillar and top liner area with a hammer fist, and shook the belt mechanisms a few times. Not sure which did the trick but now it doesn't have the ticking sound anymore
