But ya, if your dealer is 100 miles away and this isn't something we can fix on our own, just dealing with it until TSB or something comes out would be a good choice. |

I don't know man. I have spent hours in my trunk, and I could not figure it out.

I spent hours in there too. If anyone figures out a way to even temporarily remove the noise, that person would be my hero. A temporary solution would be good enough until the TSB comes out.

got a rattle coming from the passenger side, I think the air bad on the pillar. Seems like its loose or something since when a person puts a hand on it, it stops.

Have you gone any better on the rattle? I have been experiencing rattle myself and this is the exact sound thats coming. My BRZ is a JDM RHD version but the sound that you recorded is also coming from the left side of my car. I am at 5000+ miles. I can hear it when I put my ear nearer to the centre aircon vents. It is indeed very disappointing and irritating. I had 2 Honda Type Rs, driven and tracked them for 11 years and not a rattle like this. Brought it back to the local distributor but for some reason the sound can never be replicated fully when I am testing with them. Giving that the technicians are likely paid on a number of cars served basis, I can understand why after going to them twice, the response has been rather lukewarm. Its just not beneficial for themselves to spend time trying to rectify a rattle, even when I say they can have the car for a week. The sound does seem to come on more frequently when driving in the hot afternoon Sun. Sounds like some kind of "metal leaf ticking" in the centre console. I would think the sound is probably some spot weld that needs to be punched. Without taking off the entire centre console, its hard to hear where its really coming from. All I know is its driving me crazy listening to this rattle now that I have become so sensitive to this rattle. |

If its worth anything, I am going to attempt to remove the top and bottom instrument panel to see where the rattle is really coming from.
Hope to bring some news once that is done. |

Almost none of the foam is there originally. Just bare metal and plastic. Quote:

Did you happen to drive around without the instrument panel and actually pin-point the rattle? Or it just got so much that you "foamed" every imagineable metal and plastic contact. Also, I would assume once dismantled everything fits right back well? Can't wait for the weekend now to start working on the car. Its incredible how many plastic panels, clips and bare metal there are on this car. And I thought a Honda Type R was raw. Love the ride but the rattles are really dampening the mood. |

Not to be funny, but I had a rattle. Turns out it was my seat belt strap that came un buttoned -_-. Scared the crap out of me lol.

Everything goes back in place really well as it is predominately held together by screws rather than stupid one use plastic connectors that are part of the piece itself. |

A creak started to appear (after 7000KM, in -15 degree weather) coming from the back trunk like I left the trunk opened while driving. I hear it when I hit a bump or uneven pavement.
Anyone have this issue? |

After reading all these posts ... it appears that there are RATTLES everywhere on this car. This is not surprising since the car was designed to be light weight. Everything is light, thin and doesn't lend itself to sound deadening. Except for one or two posts .... I've haven't heard any solutions from the dealerships .... just DYI fixes.
