I had reported a few months ago that I was experiencing a pebble rattle behind the driver on the left side. I assumed it was road debris that had somehow made its way inbetween sheet-metal. The symptoms were on any decent acceleration or braking, I'd hear a "pebble" rolling back and forth. It drove me NUTS. Finally after three months of dealing with it (and an opening in my crazy work schedule) I brought it into Stevens Creek Porsche (where I bought the CS). They were able to find the problem. [Kudos to them]. They found "metal slag between fender body panels." I am soooooo happy...no more rolling marbles!!!!

Great to hear that!

I'm about to go into Stevens Creek Porsche myself to fix a rattle as well. It felt to be coming from right behind my left ear. Did they give you a loaner for the day?

hsjb, so you got more Porsche parts than you bargined for. Glad you found it I've been wondering ever since you mentioned it.

Yes, they did provide a loaner, but it isn't one I was enjoying...It was a Malibu.

How did you live with it for 3 months? I would have gone nuts after 3 days!!

Glad you got it fixed.

This is exactly why I posted this. Just in case anyone else out there has a similar problem and doesn't know what the sound is.

hsjb,

Just another reason this forum is so useful. Can you imagine not having this place to bounce around your thoughts, problems, questions?

I've had a similar noise whenever making a sharp left or right turn, coming right beneath the emergency break. I thought the same thing, that it's a pebble rolling around, which might of been it. I haven't hear the mystery noise for the past 2 months - knock on wood
