I have taken my 2007 Rav4 Sport V6 in for the same annoying passenger side noise. The dealership sent along a ride along to diagnose the problem. They just changed the door trim and did a test drive and there was NO NOISE at all. I got 2 miles down the road and I still here the noise! Do I ask the next time I schedule to check out the mirror like some of you have encountered? Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated!

i found the problem.
It's a groove at the bottom of the passenger's rear view mirror.
Try put some duck tape over it...i did and the noise is gone.
What a relief!
Good luck

The wind noise first started on the driver side window (vehicle was less than a year old when it started). But the noise seems to come from the area where the side air bag is located - in the safety bar. A short time later, the same noise started coming from the passenger side - same place. It's very annoying, I agree.
Took it to one dealer who decided to seat the window in the channel (didn't solve the problem - but now both windows are misaligned and catching when scrolling up and down). I'm taking it to a different dealer.
