Default Weird noise coming from dashboard area
What’s up y’all I recently came across a plastic like noise coming from the dashboard area every time I put my car on Drive or when I accelerate. Once the car starts to warm up and get going the noise seems to fade away just a bit, any help?

Do you have a video of the noise? What type of noise is it?

Sounds like it could be vibration from the engine sound? I've experienced that in other cars. Have you tried reproducing it while the car is sitting still or is it only while the car is moving? If you can make the sound while it's in park, you might be able to mess around and figure out the source of the sound.

As was mentioned by 05RollaXRS, a video would help people trying to provide you with a possible explanation.

Try doing an (unlisted) YouTube video and link here if you have a YouTube account; that's something others have done before.

So I took the center dashboard apart, drove it and the noise went away. When I placed the panel back the noise came back. Any ideas?
