I am hearing what sounds like a rattle coming from the dash around the steering wheel...somewhere. I have touched everything I know to touch and the rattle won't stop. Here's what I know so far...
1. This does not happen with just a cold engine. It has happened after a 30-mile commute in mid-July.
2. It seems to be related to acceleration, i.e. if I let off the accelerator the noise stops.
3. It doesn't seem to do this all of the time. It's most prevalent when speeds are below 60mph, with the "sweet spot" being around 40 mph.
4. Doesn't seem to be related to a/c, as I tested with the a/c off and still experienced the noise.
I uploaded a YouTube video to help. Kind of hard to hear but the noise can be heard from 4 seconds to 10 seconds in, and again at the 17 second mark to the end of the clip. I can hear it a bit better on my desktop speakers than my laptop ones, but headphones might be best.
This is driving me nuts on a car I otherwise love!
