Buzzing from right side of car or center console
There is a buzzing vibration in my car over rough roads and it seems to occur only when it's warmer than about 50 degrees. I know that may seem odd but I've been paying attention to it for about 3 weeks. It only happens when the road is rough e.g. has a lot of cracks in it or has a lot of granite in it. The sound is like a bee. Now that it's colder here I notice that I can't hear it on the same roads when it's 50 degrees or lower. It's hard to pinpoint where the sound is coming from too. I know someone posted that a clip was loose from when they had tinting done but it seems my case would be different -- like something (nut and bolt?) is expanding and contracting. I'm not sure I want he dealership to take the car apart trying to find it. I can live with it but it is irritating as I often drive with the radio off and the car is silent and solid otherwise. Anyone have any speculation as to what it might be? Thanks!

@fooz - that may be it. Please let me know what you discover. I was out riding in 57 degree weather and the buzzing was there. I seem to be wrong with my surmise about the temps. Thanks!
@corradoMR2 - as always thanks and will do.

Good luck! Rattles are very annoying and can be difficult to find. Over the past few weeks I had a very annoying one in my center console, only to finally realize it was a tin of Altoids vibrating in my center storage box.
