Has anybody had or got a cure for a rattle in both b-pillars?

I have 8000 miles on my car now and it has developed a high frequency rattle that is particularly bad at motorway speeds,
It seems to be throttle dependent which is weird and makes me think it may be related to the dreaded 'piped in' sound..

Any pointers very welcome as it is driving me nuts, I'm not into music and if I put the radio on the Christmas music drives me nut's lol.

Thanks.

Glad it's not just me! The only thing I've found on the net is a loose washer but no one mentions where it bloody is!

Oh God yes its terrible on the Surrey part of the M25!

That's ignoring the other rattle source of the seatbelt buckle rattling against the plastic B-pillar cover. Not good enough really...
The seat belt is excusable. My Evo 6 rattled less all those years ago.

Just to bring up to date, left the car with the dealer and they replaced both air vents in the b pillar and rattle is cured.

They had never had a problem before but when the new parts arrived they had additional padding.
