2 Blind Spot Detection problem

Failure Date: 10/22/2021

I have a 2021 Toyota Rav4. There is a noise in the b pillar. The sound is faint, dealership has replaced the entire seatbelt. The noise is still there. Today was the 4th time to the dealership, the technician drove and service advisor both was in the vehicle today and all of a sudden they can't hear anything. The driver side mirror also shakes when driving and by just shutting the door. My safety concerns are both the b pillar and mirror shaking. I'm concerned the b pillar may not have been properly welded and may fail in a collision the rattle started at 22 miles and now has approximately 1800 miles.
