Sort of a Creeking noise over bumps..

..has anyone ever gotten these? It's a very mild creeping noise, and it happens randomly on bumps. I mean there are bumps that i go over that a little harsh, but i dont hear anything...i even rode in the back seats to check it out myself..nothing. At frist i thought it was my TEINs ss, but it's not..and i've tried moving my car up and down..no noise whatsoever.

has anyone gotten these or heard this kinda noise?

I have the same the problems and mine is only 2900 miles. When i have my windows up and music on, then i don't notice it. Eventually i will take mine in and see what the dealer has to say.

from the center console area ? Could be the aluminum trim strips on that are on the left and right sides. I know mine creak. I might pop them off, spray in some silicone (NOT WD40 or the like), and reassemble.

If from the rear and worse in turns.... I had a PITA of a creak/clicking that was an air bag bracket. I rode in the back while a (very happy) friend drove and found if I pushed hard right in back of the passengers "awe shit" handle (where the headliner and pillar liner met) I could silence it. There is a 10mm bolt holding an airbag assy right behind there that I just loosened and re-torqued. Solved.

I have this noise as well. It sounds more like a empty metal canister is loose and moving in the engine bay.

This sound started after I got the seccond transmission installed. I'm going to take it to my dealer soon and ask about this.

I hear a similar noise when windows are up and music off. I think it was already said, but it comes with slight body flex it seems. Maybe the materials of the interior rubbing together. Theres plastic underneath the panels i think, maybe its that. Really annoying though.

For me, its definatly something in the back. Maybe the C-pillars, or the frame behind the back seats or the rear deck. I can't find it !!!!

It's hard to isolate the source of the squeek. Often, because of sound reflections within the car, it seems to be coming from an area other than where it really is. Try the following areas:

Sunroof (does it stop when the sunroof visor is closed?)
Rear speaker
Glovebox (try driving with it opened.)
Lower dash panels

As a last resort, try using some WD-40 on the rubber window and moonroof gaskets.
