Default Low Speed Squeak?

i was driving last night with my wife with the top down and noticed a squeaking noise near dash aea while i drove at low speeds and it happened when i drove over light bumpy roads. i've never heard this noise before and the car has other weird noises like when the top is up and i hear squeak on the drivers side top. i saw the tsb on the top squeak and i was wondering if there was tsb for a creak near the dash at low speeds?

I think I have the same squeak. I can notice it at low speeds when the road surface is choppy. I have yet to find the source of it, but have trained myself to ignore it. This car makes a lot of funny sounds so I just try to stay in vtec to drown them out.

I also have a few strange sqeaks under the dash at low speeds. Never been able to trace their location though...

when i drove her today with the top up i couldn't hear it because of the freeway speeds and the side roads at my house is very smooth. again its only when the roads have slight multiple bumps is when i heard the squeaks.

You've got all kinds of things in close proximity to each other inside the dash. As the car ages these things get more affected by changes in temperature and by chasis flex. You'll go nuts over trying to find and eliminate all the squeaks that come as the car ages. It's not like these squeaks are a sign your car is going to blow up.
As you get older, you will find joints will squeak and pop. You gonna ask your doctor for a "fix"?
