Has anyone else noticed or hopefully solved this issue. I'm 99% sure it is something to do with the seatbelt mechanism. There is a clicking noise right next to my left ear, it sounds like it is coming from that area on the pillar. I have tried driving briefly without the seatbelt on and it doesn't seem to happen then, does anyone have any ideas on this?

It might be an echo. Many of us have found an annoying rattle to be coming from the sunvisor not being fully clipped.

Mine is plastic creaking (not just over bumps) on my left side, it's the plastic surround on the inside which mainly includes the 'delta' panel towards the front interior of the driver's side window. Dealer just put some double sided tape to see if it fixes it lol. Seems like the delta part near the A Pillar is not making the noise but now the trim towards the B Panel is, I'll see if it still does tomorrow; not really worried about it.
My noise happens even without bumps either, so it's incredibly annoying and since its so close to my ear I can hear it over the radio.
I have the same issue. It’s the mechanism for adjusting the seatbelt shoulder height.
I’ve found that lowering it creates tension and minimizes the rattle. Next time I’m at the dealer I will have them look at it. It’s pretty annoying.

That's what I was thinking it is too

I have the same issue as well. Have spent the last week chasing down squeaks and rattles. Previous owner must have traded due to all the rattles. I've been able to locate and fix appx 95% of them...and I will find them all. Muhahahaha

I have a slight rattle next to the left side as well. I believe mine is the door seal squeaking and vibrating though. anyone else think its the door seal near top of B pillar?

Same here. Definitely think it's the seatbelt on the B-Pillar.
It is definitely coming from the seat belt. This noise drove me nuts for the first few weeks until I figured out where it was coming from. I tried lightly oiling it in the pivot point where the bolt goes thru but that didn’t help. I ended up taking the plastic cap off and put a hose gasket in there. It fits perfect. That took care of 90 percent of the noise. I did this prob 11 months ago and it’s still pretty quiet. I will notice a slight click once in a while but that’s about it

Any advice on how to get that off? I think I'll give this fix a shot
If I remember right.. the plastic piece just snaps off. Just carefully pull it straight out. I think there are just some plastic tabs holding it on. Once you have that piece off, the hose gasket easily goes on.
Going to give that a try, thanks!

I put a rubber seal on mine to do the same thing. My rattle is still there. When I isolate the seatbelt it still makes noise. I have put dynomat behind the B pillar. Still has the rattle. I'm losing my mind tracking this down. Has anyone figured out what the sound can be? I also replaced my cab mounts.

My rattle seems to be coming from the seat belt mechanism down in the “b” pillar, like a pendulum lock for the belt when the truck rocks side to side. I‘ve had the dealer replace the belt twice, which seems to fix it for a while, but it has come back a 3rd time. It’s almost as if a pendulum has a bumper but the bumper wears out. It starts gradually but gets to rattling all the time after a while. Only on the driver’s side.

My rattle was the head rest ratcheting mechanism. Clicked it forward 1 click and it stopped.
