So I had the annoying rattle noise on the passenger side. Thanks to the forum, it turned out to be the A pillar and speaker issue.

But! Once I fixed that, I noticed I had another rattle/buzz/squeak. Been trying to figure this one out for a while now. Tried the shelf remove/tape options, removed the cover for the access to the cabin air filter. Tried making the glove box close tighter. All sorts of experiments.

Today, I think I finally figured it out. Underneath the glove box is a bundle of wires wrapped in plastic. It is jammed up against what I guess is the blower for the heat/cooling. So today I put a microfibre towel in between the two. Drove around for a while on every type of road, gravel, highway, bumpy roads. No noise issues. So hopefully I fixed it!

Mine has this and its driving me nuts. As usual, the dealer couldn't duplicate the concern.

that's where my noise came from too. I shoved some foam up there like your cloth and it worked!

Did the foam solve the issue? So far a cloth has stopped the vibration noise

Check the access cover inside of the glove box. Mine was rattling. The cover that is over the cabin filter compartment inside the glove box. I put some black electrical tape around the edge all the way around.

I believe I have the same issue. How did you access the underneath?
