    Hey TW,
    Has anyone else heard this vibration noise coming from the front seat area? Trying to spot the vibration as it is very annoying. Sounds like a high pitched bee buzzing noise. Help? :)

    I've noticed some vibration coming from the front dash area. It's most noticeable during the first few seconds, when accelerating. Another Buzz is the exhaust...hard to describe. Not so much "buzzy"...more of a "raspy" sound?

    The sound from the front dash area... Wonder if it could be fixed somehow. Anyone?

    @Athan1 are you still experiencing this buzzing sound? I have about 1300 miles and started noticing this sound when driving about 70-80mph.

    I'm getting it looked at tomorrow. Dealership. Let's see if they can find what's causing the vibration from the engine bay into the cabin.

    Noise fixed. In the dashboard... Ecm mount. They added felt to the mount to eliminate vibration noise. Sounded like a fly was stuck between the windshield and dash

    Buzz has been driving me nuts....hear it in the morning on way to work find myself mashing the gas pedal to try and hear where its coming from. Its a mix of mashing the pedal and trying to lean over into the passenger side to hear it...totally safe!

    I had this same issue. I took apart the dash to get the ECM but the mounts were pretty snug. I ended up noticing some plastic pieces in the door sill and a wire guard that looked like they'd make some noise so I used some adhesive backed rubber to tighten them up. So far so good, but I am going to give a few more days to make sure since the problem was intermittent in the past.

    I'll post pictures in the other thread i started about the same issue a few weeks back.

    Negative...had kind of forgotten about it but started noticing it again lately. I think because its cold the plastics maybe harden up a little? From reading what others have commented it's either the little plastic nut on passenger floor board or it's where the dash speaker grill meets with the windshield pilar.

    I can definitely hear some type of noise from the speaker grill area but it's still not THE squeak lol. The nut on the floor board was loose but it also wasn't the fix for me.

    I am down to one from 2 noises. I had the one a lot of other people seem to have with the plastic cover over the passenger pillar, it rubs on the speaker cover, and also has two clips where the cover sits which also rub. Fixed with some fabric tape.

    I still get a buzz coming from the upper dash while the engine is under load (accelerating) at 2000rpm.

    I tried using a tone generator on my phone playing through the stereo to try and stimulate the vibration by varrying the frequency on the app. Thought i got it, but i guess not.

    It only happens if the temperatures are just right though, between 5C and 10C, above or below and no noise. If its below greezing outside the noise wont happen until the interior of the truck warms up a bit. Will post if i figure it out .

    Ya I may go the fabric tape route myself for the speaker grill just been lazy and it was pretty quite till last week or so. I've gotten used to the most of the rattles..have another one I can hear somewhere to my back left mainly when stereo is hitting a little harder.

    Good luck man!
