Noise from drivers side dash...Just me?
Hey Guys, Has anyone else noticed a noise seemingly from behind the speedo while on the freeway? Its definitely not from below the glove box. Its almost as if a module housing is loose and tapping against the firewall. I only notice it when the radio is turned down (Yeah I know, I should leave it up  ) This noise doesn't seem to correlate to engine speed or road conditions, just vehicle speed...Wind noise??

I drive on the interstate very often. Does it sound like a creaking noise? If so, that is what I am hearing too. Radio has to be off and silent in the car but I can hear it. I thought it was the suspension or something?

I'd call it more of a tapping/rattling than a creaking, but it could be the same.

Rainy day bump!
Just got back from a 2000 mile trip. I had to avoid 55-60 MPH the whole time.
Anyone else??

I had this too. I changed to Rain-X blades, (they needed it anyway) and I haven't heard it since. I think the stock blades were moving around a bit in the wind at speed, and bumping that area. I know - sounds strange, but it worked for me.

Nothing on the driver side, but on the passenger side underneath the glove box I was hearing a ticking noise. There is a removable panel and behind that there is a wire loom that was making a lot of 'ticking' sounds. I adjusted the wiring a bit and that solved the problem. I think several owners have had similar issues.

I was leaning to wind/speed induced noise so this is a possibility. I'll check for wiper hop next time I'm out.

No, it's definitely closer to the speedo.

I noticed this noise back in June, during a long road trip. I'd say it's either dash-to-windshield or windshield-to-? that's making the noise. I haven't investigated this further as it's not too high on my to-do list.

And of course, right on cue, it came back today on a 5 hour road trip. It's intermittent though, so I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to replicate it for the dealer at my upcoming 20,000 service. I'm going to check out some of the suggestions on the "rattles and creaks" thread, and see what I can find.

I noticed the same noise too. Thought it was coming from the speaker grill, but it does sound like it's behind the speedo. Really faint for now, could get annoying.

Could it be the molded styrofoam pieces inside of he dash? Mine makes this noise in the top left corner of dash that sounds like styrofoam being rubber together.
