Default Weird Noise Behind The A/c Vent

As Far Back As I Can Remember, Everynow And Then I Hear This Weird Rattle / Scraping Noise Coming From Behind My Center Colsole Where The Radio And A/c Controls Are - It Sounds Like A Rat Is Trapped Back There - Anybody Else Got This Problem?

No Rat Jokes Please - He Would Be Dead By Now

Kevin - I Was Reading Another Post And It Said Something About Dry Leaves Was Causing A Similar Noise On Someone Elses Car. But Mine Is A Combination Of Lite Knocking,scraping, Rattling Etc . It's Just Really Annoying. I Keep Taking The Car To The Dealer - But Everytime I Take It, The Noise Doesn't Show Up.

Don't Know What Else To Do. As Far As The Water - My Floor Is Dry, Never Wet, So I'm Totally Lost.

Thx

No - It Doesn't Really Have To Do With When I Accelerate - It's A Once In A While Noise - Starts When It Wants Too - Stops When It Wants Too. Mostly It Starts When I First Start The Car, Like Mostly On Mornings Or When I Leave Work - After The Car Has Been Sittingfor A While.

Default Does The Heater Have Anything To Do With IT?

Hello,
I noticed a noise on my first GS. It had to do with the heater. The cause was air in the cooling system, and that air made noise as it traveled through the heater. It was MOST noticeable when it was cold, before the thermostat opened.

If you have had the cooling system flushwed lately, or you have to keep servicing the cooling system, youmay have aproblem with air.

Thanks
