Default Mystery Noise

Yet again something is wrong, after every bumb there is a rattle or something is loose by the front left a pillar ( right under the dash board) but when I try to hit the dash on top to hear the noise I get nothing, so it's only on bumps, possibilities ???

for me it was my coins that was in that little hidden flip down compartment. i had it literally stacked with quarters and i guess the weight of it made something rattle. i put the coins in my ash tray now since im not a smoker cause the rattle annoyed me.

The sound you are hearing is the brake booster. If you have your car running in park and you pump the brakes a few times you should hear the noise come on.
Thats just how this GS works and is not anything to worry about.
