Default Shrill whistling noise

I have an intermittent whistling noise coming from what seems like the right rear C Pillar. It sounds like a fan bearing but I don't know where one would be. It's a 2003 LS. It's not wind noise. Any help would be appreciated.

Default Whistling noise

Have you checked the brake pads?

Sometimes the pads/backing plate will cause a similar sounding noise.

Apply the brakes when noise is present and see if it makes a difference.

Just a thought.

Noise seems to have vanished as quickly as it arose. It probably was something caught in the brake pads. Thanks for replying.
