It may not be the car. Do you bathe regularly?

Actually, I was thinking someone took a crap in his car.

Unless you've found a leak, this is probably just the sound of fresh unclogged drainage channels doing their thing.

Fruit flies for sure. All rice is contaminated with the eggs and when wetted they hatch and buzz around. You'll get used to it but passengers will still complain, until you metal the pedal.

I ended up taking everything out of the interior and trunk. Didn't find anything or water. The last place I could think of is the AC venting would have water.

I ended up getting some damprid and left it in my car. My car doesn't smell moldy or anything but if there is any moisture I hope it takes it away. I called the dealership and they did say some people complain about this. They said they do have gnats around so it could just be that.

Whoa thanks. Took apart the whole trunk trimming but I didn't think of looking in there. Thanks! I'll check tonight.

I just find it weird that there is no signs of water/stains and that I've found gnats in the trunk area and interior area, unless they ship them with the rear seats folded down.

I just found two gnats inside my dome light. That is sealed pretty tight...
