Rattling Issues ?
Is anyone else experiencing any rattling sounds in the interior of any kind?
I have for instance, the front passenger seatbelt holder rattles whenever going on bumps or just a rough road. I did play with it to see what was wrong or anything loose, no luck.
Another rattling sound I've been hearing was from the sub in the back. Behind the backseat headrest, keeps rattling whenever a rap song or any genre of music with nice bass kicks in. I have no ML package. Mind you, I have my tremble to max, mid at 2 bars under max, bass at 2 bars under max, and the rattling starts around volume 30. I feel as if something is loose under there. About to download a bass test onto my phone to play through bluetooth, but don't want to blow out my sub at the same time.
anyone try to solve this problem if you are experiencing it?

seat belt holder doesn't rattle for me, but the 'T' shaped clip when hanging freely (the one you buckle into your seat) does rattle everyone once in a while going over a bump, which is expected.
for the sound, my setup is
treble: 0
mid: +1
bass: +2
auto equalizer: on
surround sound: on

I have to admit, this is the most rattle ridden car I've had so far, but somehow i'm just willing to accept that and hoping one day I will fix all the rattles! I fixed one which was a plastic panel slightly loose near the bottom of the steering wheel column, and that was one of the happiest finds and fixes I've ever had. Now there are like 5 more coming from every which way, can't even pinpoint them anymore. It's like pulling out gray hair...Get rid of one, 10 more show up next day.

Check out these fixes, and might partially help the OP. It has helped me.

Now if only I can resolve the odd squeak when the car's frozen, but I'm OK with that since I have yet to own a squeak-free car at sub-zero temps.

I also have noticed a rattle coming from the centre back speaker as well as a rattle from the drivers door with bass. Taking it in to the dealer next week for them to look at.

So the dealer is replacing the subwoofer under warranty. They checked the speaker casing, insulation, etc. and determined it was the actual sub itself. They also found noise coming from the interior covers in the trunk which they insulated along with insulating the trunk lid tension rods (they found a rattle in the support clip) and the license plate. Unfortunately I have no pics of what they did.
