    I saw the original of that a couple of months ago. Below the pic it said: those couple of light spots you see in WI aren't non-drinking counties, they're lakes.

    For all of the drunken boating that goes on on those lakes, they should be shaded also. :rofl:

    That is an odd one for sure, not much going on behind the speedo area other than wiring. Do you have your HVAC running when this happens, if so try turning off and see if it goes away? Turn the blend door selector knob too and see if it changes. Actuator for this is on the passenger side but could be some part of the linkage making weird sounds.

    Some super weird things to check: maybe some part of your brake booster is making the noise, check that connections like vacuum hoses to the booster are in good shape; something really weird like your steering intermediate shaft being loose and rattling which would make sense with how it goes away on cornering, or really really weird like the wiper motor assembly being loose and making noise.

    Did a search and found old posts that are largely unsolved mysteries:

    Edit:
    Another post I found about dash rattles but doesn't sound exactly like yours, though it shows what is behind the dash. Not much there on driver side other than wiring and HVAC ducting.

    That is the first thing the wife said-you have a mouse. This is not mouse, but maybe mouse related???

    So. Many. Stickers.
    Check your rear center cupholders.

    I just spent half a day last week tearing into my dash looking for a sound....

    Center rear cupholder had a metal water bottle that wasnt quite seated all the way and by some perfect combination of temp, humidity, driving conditions, mercury being in retrograde, stock prices, and the rotten tomatoes score of Shazam 2, it sounded like my dash was vibrating.

    :drunk:

    Another cool spot that I believe is close by is 7 falls. A good hike up 7 different waterfalls. Lots of stairs and other hiking trails, so make sure you have some comfortable shoes on!

    Thanks Adam. I immediately thought of the brake booster because of where it is located. Looked at it and shook it, but nothing obvious. I will try and cycle the HVAC...

    That's what I'm here for, the mods and the gear.
    Everyone outside of Wisconsin: But there's a whole county in the middle that doesn't even drink!

    Wisconsinites: That's a lake

    That's Pikes Peak.between the trees.
    20230525_135123.jpg Pikes Peak has bit of snow yet.

    20230525_111441.jpg Having a @pearing picnic. 20230525_125023.jpg My reading was 180 degrees. Above 300 and you get a 20 min timeout.
    20230525_130955.jpg The exciting part is when you leave the trees. No pics but it is exhilarating. Suddenly, instantly you are on a shelf road, no guard rail and death is but feet away.20230525_122839.jpg
