seriously tho sounds like a marble or something in the floor strut which the seat bolts to.

Strangely I had the exact same thing in my mrs' impreza! It was doing my head in, kept mentioning it to her after I'd driven it but she'd have the radio on and not notice.

In the end it turned out to be a one of my sons toys, it was infact a ballbearing inside one of those clear plastic games (where you have to locate the ball in a cup/hole) had made it's way under the mat right at the front of the passenger seat underneath. I'd looked /felt under the seat a few times but it'd hidden from me for a while

One of my mates thinks it could be the ball bearing that has come loose in the seatbelt pre-tensioner.. does this lay sideways across under the seat or floor mat or something?

Stone in the plastic under tray that runs under the pasenger side i expect.
