Annoying rattle / buzz inside cabin

Can anyone help me with this as it seems be coming from the passanger side and is a quiet rattle / buzz at low speed rising to a vigirous one when under hard acceleration! Very annoying and comes and goes to. All seems to be tight and well fitted.

Help appreciated.

Les.

Try pushing up on the headliner or the cover of the rear hatch. There might be a loose or broken clip

I have this one too, especially between 2000 and 3000 rpm... Buzzing rattle, seems to be coming from the right passenger door panel. I can also get it without accelerating on some rough roads.

I also experienced an annoying buzzing/rattle coming from the passanger/rear compartment.

When removing the engine cover I found the hold down screws lose. After replacing the cover and tightening the screws the noise was gone. Just something to look at that might be the culprit.

I get this too, you know it might be my door pull or maybe something inside where the speakers are, it seems to be coming from that area. Hard to tell.

This is a little embarassing but I have located the problem after getting my girlfriend to drive the car whilst I listened intently for the location of the noise!

Tracked it down to the new alloy tax disc holder I had fitted a short while ago... round about the same time the noise started... now I come to think of it.... Doh!!!

Thanks for the input though, it's still appreciated

You're welcome and who knows there may well be others who have overlooked this minor modification for whom my honesty will pay dividends

I had the same kind of situation. Discovered it was a roll of quarters I had stashed in a container in the arm rest storage area.

Is this a common occurrence? The screws holding the engine cover down coming loose I mean? I have had an annoying rattle/buzz for months. Its been getting worse. I took the privacy shade off and that didn't do it so now I suspect its these screws. I have to take the carpet off and look but I am just wondering if this has happened to many others as it seems it could be a common issue.

I've had a buzz since new, its not always present, but usually shows up while I'm cruising on the freeway over rougher pavement.

Haven't been able to pinpoint the location yet, the sound seems to be coming from the lower part of the drivers side A-Pillar close to the side mirror adjustment nob. Strange part is that if I apply moderate pressure to the top of drivers side door armrest storage bin, the buzz will get quieter or go away. I've removed the contents of the bin and even while empty the noise can occur.
