Anybody else notice this? Normal? Sounds like something is loose in the passenger side airbag unit. Not that noticeable, but with top up and no radio over bumpy road, it is! I guess I'm pretty anal about these things!
Thanks for any input!

I haven't noticed that one. Have you checked to make sure it's not the passenger seat belt hanging low and hitting the door panel?

My rattle was actually the rear-view mirror. Grab on to it the next time you hear the rattle. If it doesn't go away, that's not it then!

If it stops the rattling, readjust the mirror. Repeat as necessary. Lather and rinse.

I hear something that might be described as that with the Supercharger - when I floor it. It's definitely not in the engine bay, it's in the cabin; and it's not on my side - it just comes from somewhere over there <pointing to passanger's side>. It's just a vibrating noise, doesn't bother that much.

I have noticed this rattle that is sometimes quite loud has occurred when I goof a shift and lug the engine for a short while.

Sounds like the passenger air bag or maybe even that amazing Honda Hepa? air filter. I haven't looked at it since it doesn't occur during normal(read high speed) operation.

I think I also have Wesmaster's noise. I didn't notice it until today, however, after I installed the SC check valve fix and was driving around.

I used to get a low frequency resonance from under the windshield when driving over the cobble stones in front of my house. Then I got the Spoon lower x brace. Resonance gone now.
