Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but my car rattles like shit when playing music, especially if it's hiphop or something with bass. I'm not sure if this is happening b/c it's been near 10 degrees outside the past few mornings....but it is really, really annoying. The windows, the license plate and plate frame, the A-pillars, etc....rattle, rattle, rattle.

 

Welcome to the club!! There is a TSB for rattles if you want to bring it into the dealership for warranty claim.

 

Its been reported here that rattles show up as the temps drop. If you add Hip Hop with bass you are only exacerbating the problem. Like Moda said, there is a TSB. You might also look into putting in sound deadening material (Dynamat, Vmax, etc.). Check the Audio & Video section for that topic.

 

Nice use of exacerbating!!!

I agree though, if you want the perfectly quiet car, look into Dynamat and the like.

 

Here's a simple solution NO MORE LISTENING TO HIP HOPS! start listening to oldies,country and opera. Problem solve!

 

I think I just died a little inside.

 

what's a TSB??? And I actually listen to pretty much all types of music... EXCEPT country..... -- I do however enjoy upbeat jams while rollin'

Yes, get dynamat. My TSX is getting some dynamats soon. I have a 10 inch JL W7 in the trunk. No annoying rattles. But the bass sometimes sounds distorted. I am hoping the dynamat might improve the bass.

 

to get rid of one major annoying rattle if you have bass is to get rid of the trunk springs and replace them with gas shocks.

 

I'm glad that I read this thread.

My car seems like the body 'flexs' when you go over any small bumps, speed bumps, sewers now that it is cold. I had been experiencing the front A-pillar rattle but then it got cold here and now it's rattle-time!

I have the A-pillar rattle, a rear rattle, the body flex and even some 'tingy' sound coming from the trunk area. I didn't know if it was just my car or my imagination but thanks to this thread I know that others are having the problem in the cold.

I hate the cold.

 

yeah same here, i heard some cling noise from the rear, and sometimes A pillar too.
It makes me feel like the car is fallin apart. lol. even tho i doubt so.heh
i guess they all because of the cold

 

:killer: Turn that hippity hops noise down!

 

lucky me. my car was delivered this month. It's presently -13C or about 8F. She'll quiet as ever. Can only get better I guess

 

i found this TSB. Any other ones out there for rattles??

 

Move down here

 

I seriously must have rocks in my head for being in OH...it's like 20 something and snowing right now.

But on the other hand, my TSX drove pretty well on the ice and snow yesterday!

 

Turn the bass down and turn the treble up
