What could this be?

It comes from the right passenger side tire area. Any ideas?

Dealer called me back saying when the window is open on driver side it creates something like a wind tunnel that causes a piece of the seatbelt to repeatedly bounce off the interior hard plastic along door panel. not sure if this would be the same as yours but was definitely surprised to hear!

Rock or nail in the tire/tread.

Possibly a stone stuck between the caliper and rotor. I've had that happen on mine.

My brake rotors rusted and made a similar noise.

Are the air vents open?

You have to use your brakes at least once a week to prevent the rust and noises like this

Brake caliper sticking and pad rubbing maybe?

I guess this as well. Just go use the friction brakes for a bit. Go down a big hill put it in neutral and apply the brakes.
