Rattle & Hum

NO idea how many times I have whined/bitched/complained about this (probably a lot knowing me). I have had a tinny rattle/buzz in my ride for about a year and a half and it has made me itch...bad. Somewhere around the front center dash, only happens at speed, at specific RPM's. I removed the center speaker thinking the paper cone might be torn, nothing. Looked down in the hole fished around, nothing, kind of gave up then went back again never found it, just let it irritate me. I asked a couple people to look for the source over time with no luck.

Driving back from a presentation the other day with a couple of my ID guys I complained about it. My guy in the front (who is obviously a lot sharper than me) listens carefully to the dash then looks up and pinches the case halves together on the rear view mirror, noise stops, he lets go and it starts back up. I say "do it again".

Shit, he figures it out in 10 seconds. So either my miracle ear is toast or I can't track down a sound BUT if you are looking for the source of a sound like this try the rear view mirror.....
 
Will definitely at least check that area for noise on mine, and hope I get lucky haha.
 
Free lunch? I bet you made him clay bar your car afterwards.

Free Lunch!

Mirror has a dividing line around the perimeter, where it snaps together. The two pieces therefore are "case halves".....:)

Makes sense.
 
In case anyone is wondering about the root cause of this issue, it was The Edge...

Your lucky you found hour rattle/hum..I have one under my car and I believe it is the exhaust because in open the door and bend down while I power break and hear it. Does this mean it's time for a invidia exhaust?
 
It's always a good time for an upgrade :wink:

We went out drinking a year ago and he was all figidty in the front seat, he may very well have smacked the mirror and loosened it up, good call Tim.
