Interior noises - rattles, creaks, squeaks!

[s2k666]

I am getting a faint buzz rattle when going over bumpy roads. Any ideas? It sounds like it is coming from under the steering wheel. Hard to hear in the video over the bumps but it does not stop when I touch different areas of the dash and below. Thanks for any advice as it is killing me.


Not to mention the new door rattle from the stereo system. Every time the bass hits right my driver door rattles. I can see a lot of flex in the door panel and it stops when I put pressure on it. Any ideas on how to reinforce the door card and stop flexing? Otherwise it will be more foam stuffed in the corners just like every corner of my dash. :/

did you figure out what was causing this?

No sorry. I have not really noticed it at all lately.

Dang. New rattle in the side of the centre plastic panel in the footwell. Stops if I press it. Any advice on fixing this one greatly appreciated

I have a couple rattles. One seems to be from the center, center-passenger part of the dash. It usually stops when I put pressure on the underside near the glovebox.

The second is somewhere in the rear part of the car and is very noticeable when I decelerate. No idea how I'm going to source down the rear one without having to find someone to lay down in the hatch while I drive.

Also suffering from this. I haven't been able to track it down yet. It's not as bad now that it's warm out, but it still shows up intermittently.

I think I can help with the first. I had the same problem. After trying to figure out where exactly it was coming from I realised the flimsy cover on the centre passenger footwell vibrates quite easily from contact with other panels. So I put some felt tape along the edge and also pulled this panel up a bit (it is flimsy enough to give you great access behind it) and I stuck a big rectangle of sound deadening on it to give it some mass and absorb vibrations. Not sure which worked the best but the combo of both fixed it perfectly for me. I went ahead and did the drivers side as well just in case.

Hope this works for you. I can send pictures if that helps.

After getting an exhaust for sure I did notice some rattling from the plastics on the apple car play screen. A bit annoying but only happens in low end RPMs. Making the music louder does the trick.... still a honda at the end of the day. Overall interior quality still happy with

I've got a buzz going on when it's pretty warm and I'm in 2nd gear at like 5krpm. It's kind of intermittent but annoying.

The clips to my passenger side kick panel are actually broken. Apparently happened at the factory. It looks fine and I only noticed it after investigating some other rattles. Feeling around behind the panels I can feel the broken clips. I was actually able to take photos behind the panel too to confirm. BUT, because it’s not a big problem I’ve not taken it back to the dealership to be fixed. They’d have to take the console completely out. I’ve decided I don’t want to risk other problems and just put a piece of yoga mat foam behind there to keep it from vibrating too much, though it never rattles unless I actually press on it and intentionally make it rattle (see link. Video includes sound)

Has anyone been able to fix their seatbelt rattle successfully? I’ve tried a few things but it still rattles. It’s not super loud but unfortunately it’s right at my ear so I hear everything.

I found that all I have to do is press down on the seat belt adjuster (not the actual button), to secure the adjuster more firmly in place. No buzzes anymore.

Can you rephrase this? I’m still not sure what you’re pressing down on.

Sorry. On the sliding seatbelt adjuster (located on your B pillars), press down on the top surface of the adjuster without pushing the release button. Hope this makes better sense.

Ooh thanks for that. I’ve tried everything else but that. I’ll give it a go. I’m sure it’s just that the standard Honda seatbelt components are for cushy family cars and not hard riding weapons .

I've had the glove box squeak/rattle too. It got worse the longer I drove the car. I did take it in to service today and after a 30min drive still no rattle! The dealers master tech was able to reproduce it and watched the video I made, we'll see how the fix holds up but so far so good.

Did they explain what they did?
