Default "Chattering" drivers door frame?

I wouldn't call it a rattle per se but I've got an annoying chattering noise coming from the top of the drivers door frame (near my left ear) when on bumpy roads or at highway speeds (assuming that the resonance on the highway is causing a slight vibration). I thought it might be the weatherstripping but none of my home remedies are correcting it. Thought I'd check to see if anyone else had this issue.

2016 GX Luxury with 29k miles. I've only owned it since 12.24 so I don't know if it's been an ongoing issue. I came out of a 2018 Tacoma that was so noisy at first I didn't notice the chatter. Now that I'm more accustomed to the quiet of the GX I'm beginning to hear things. Thanks in advance!

I'm actually having the same issue on my 2014. With all the issues I've had, I had to lower the priority lever on this one for now.

It certainly is annoying though.

Try pressing against the oh-crap handle on rough roads. I bet the noise will go away.

Definitely not that, 100% the top of the door frame. Spoke to a guy that's run body shops for years, his suggestion was to put the window down with the door open, put knees against door panel while sitting on the drivers seat and give a couple of quick yanks on the top of the door frame to slightly bend it toward the body. Noise gone. I knew it was the frame because I'd get little pops of wind noise on the highway as well. Didn't take much!

Thanks, been having the same issue, really minor but worth addressing!
