The little trim piece around the base of the rear view mirror is very loud for its size. Felt tape fixes it.

what about that nasty rattling sound you hear when you're in third gear and deccelerate? do any of you guys get this? i know it has to do with gear backlash in the tranny, but it sounds like a loose plate on the exhaust.

I have a PRM intake and I have a similar rattle. At first I thought it was coming from somewhere underneath my dash, but after giving it some thought, I think the culprit is the intake. Not sure how I'm going to get rid of it yet...

oh lord, where to start...

- the faceplate on my stereo rattles at 4472 rpm
- the dome light cover rattles at 4500 rpm
- one soft top latch rattles at around 900 rpm, the other at around 1800
- shifter has kind of a ring to it on deceleration in gear
- clutch buzz, for sure
- my passenger seat rattles if no one's in it and it isn't slammed back against the plastic behind it
- my driver's seat squeaks against the plastic behind me if i'm against it, if i'm not then that plastic piece is loose and rattles on its own
- some sort of high pitched rattle coming from beside the console door but behind the plastic.
- wind deflector buzzes when it's cold

it's a honda, not a lexus

I have a testpipe and I have a rattle coming from the back somewhere too, usually at WOT at low RPM range. What is this top tray everyone talks about?
