I've noticed some driver's side wind noise in terms of a whistle, but never a rattle or vibration. Might want to have that looked into of it's replicable.

I have a similar noise near the lower part of the driver's side windshield. It sounds like a small rattle during lower speeds and actually sounds like there is a leak in the windshield at higher speeds.

I had something like this on a previous vehicle. The black plastic air intake that runs along the truck at the base of the windscreen, behind the hood is fastened down somehow. On my old vehicle, it was screwed in. One of the screws loosened enough to allow the wind to buffet the plastic around as speed increased. To diagnose it, we opened the hood, stuffed a rag under the air intake from inside, closed it up and took a ride. The noise stopped. The fix then was to augment the way this was held down, which I think we just did by drilling and adding some screws.
Hope this helps.
