Sound coming from rear left door

Whenever I'm driving at about 40 mph with all the windows up and no music, I hear the soft sound of wind leaking in from the direction of the rear left door. This isn't normal right? And has anyone had experience with this problem?

Sittin in the back of my sedan going around 40 mph I notice an air current next to the door lock where the window meets the vinyl. Also I feel one where the door handle is. (My windows are all up, AC on). I think it's just a circulation tactic engineered by MB. However I don't hear anything, but I can feel it.

I had this same problem with my 98 c230. It was the driver side rear seat. I had taken it to the dealer many times but couldn't find anything. I sold the car before the problem was fixed. This brings back a lot of frustrating memories with that noise. It will drive you crazy!!!
