My left side mirror does this too and it drives me nuts. If you push on the glass while closing the door the sound goes away

My whole dashboard buzzes nearly everyday and sometimes I hit it so hard I almost hurt my hand.

I've noticed the seatbelt adjusters on the pillars like to start rattling and you have to move them to the next notch to get it to stop.

Actually, if you press downward on them without pushing the button, I’ve found this takes care of the buzz. There’s a little slack in the mechanism. It seems that pushing down on it kind of helps seat the mechanism and reduces that slack and you get the benefit of putting the seat belt adjuster at the height that’s comfortable for you.

Mine squeaks. Car is two days old. It's right next to my ear. It's the roller when u pull or retract the seatbelt. Tempted to spray lube but I won't

@Ivy Mine have never squeaked that I can recall, but they definitely used to buzzzzzzzzzz. Sometimes things can improve with use too. Definitely don’t spray lube in there. There’s no way to actually reach the mechanism without taking the panel apart.

Has anyone resolved the steering wheel ticking sound from the airbag cover yet? Drives me crazy every time I turn the wheel…

Is it only when turning? My steering wheel creaks a little when turning, and the airbag cover makes “clicks” whenever I hit bumps

Have the dealership take off the airbag assembly in the steering wheel and reseat it. This got fixed when I had them install my alcantara wheel, which involves all of that.

I got this new rattle that sounds like it’s coming from the driver side air vent (right next to the door) when scrolling revs around 2k-ish. Sounds like there’s something inside there rattling.

Anyone else?

does the sound change at all if you close the air vent?

been trying to find videos on what's considered normal "rattles and buzzing" for these cars as i just recently acquired a type r and this is probably the noisiest interior of a brand new car i've been in

Honda Civic Type R Rattling (youtube.com)
Wow. I’ve not heard that before. Definitely not normal. I’d take it in. Hard to tell from the video but could be the seat weld issue.

So I’ve got the buzz/rattle behind the infotainment screen. Only happens when it’s cold and the dealership say it’s the air intake that’s the cause. Doesn’t make any sense to me how the intake would affect this. Anyone else had this issue?
