mhsneon Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I got my car back from being at the bodyshop for a month, and was missing it since driving around a grand prix for a month. The one thing I didn't miss was the rattles, my car has close to 10k miles on it and it rattles like crazy, the dash, the door, there is a creak in the driver pillar, it drives me nuts. I have some mental disorder when it comes to sounds, not just rattles, dogs, people tapping, any sort of vibrations, I can hear things that most people don't and it causes me stress and anxiety. So what do I do? I could trade my car in for something, but any other car I get has just as much of a chance of getting a rattle, I can hear buzzes and rattles in my sisters lexus. Also will the dealership give me a hard time about the rattles if they see that the car has been in an accident, they have been there before the accident and the accident shouldnt have had an effect on the door and dash? Maybe I just need to chill:icon_conf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azca Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 just play music in your car semi-loud and you will never hear those rattles. In my lgt06 passenger door rattle started to go wild after 1st week of ownership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paracitik Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Most cars have little rattles and sounds. I'd say just check around your car for something that would make the noise. I usually have change laying around or personal belongings that rattle when the car moves. Not to mention my radar detector rattles with the winshield whenever I go over a bump. Just things of that nature.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meltdown07 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Take your cd cases out of the compartments on the doors. That was the source of the rattling in my car, that i couldnt pinpoint for the longest time. Go Cardinals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWP-LegacyGT Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Turn up your freaking stereo. You can't have a Subbie without a rattle, it's just common knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emorphien Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I had the best rattle in my old car (a ford). It made all kinds of noises worse than rattles but this rattle in particular was strange. When I accelerated or braked harder it would do this every now and then. Even if I turned while moving quickly. I finally found it was this 1/2" threaded rod about 4" long (from NASA, part of a release pin from a micro-gravity drop tank) that was stuck under the drivers seat and it was just clunking around. That took 6 months to figure out. My sunroof rattles after I hit a bigass pothole, and I'm dropping it off this Wed to get that looked at. The sunroof is unusable right now when opened because it just buzzes the entire time. The same pothole tore up a guys tire (another sitemember here) and he had to buy my one remaining RE-92 to get back on the road again. I'm not sure which is worse, having the pothole blow a tire or screw up my sunroof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, been there done that, I have actually gotten rid of cars for rattles before, but I enjoy driving my car, and I don't really like listening to music while I drive, but I might just have to start doing it. The weird thing is when I ride my motorcycle that thing rattles and clanks all over the place, the engine is one big rattle, but that never bothers me. I guess I have survived these rattles for the last 1.5years in this car I should be able to manage, maybe with the help of some drugs or therapy. Yesterday I had everything out of my car, all the pockets, glove box, cargo area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I can't say I've had the same problem. After 2 years, the only rattle in my car is change in the cupholder area or my rigged boost gauge mount. Everything else is nice and quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLegacy99 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 ain't nothing $$$ can't solve My bro's Impreza went into Rafferty Subaru for rattles in the door. They fixed it, shorted out the stereo and had to give him 300 bucks. Tough breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mblazder Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I feel your pain i hate these rattles. Someone posted that its nothing $$$ can't fix. My questions is who will fix it for for $$$. I would be willing to spend money to have someone make all rattling stop. I agree with OP it annoys the crap outta me. And I do listen to music constantly but a car with 2 10inch subs is not THAT pleasent to listen to really loud music in all the time. The worst part... the most loud noise is from my aftermarket HU. Apparently they didn't do a good job tightening the screws or something inside the "cubby" because when the HU moves it makes this annoying high pitched squealing. Audio Planet (installer) should expect me there once i get my car back from the body shop to make a scene so they hopefully fix it for me for free.

jond_68 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I have over 11,000 miles on the spec.b, and the only rattle/noise I hear is the CDs in the center console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhsneon Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 The people here that say they have no rattles i bet I could ride in their car and pin point a few:icon_bigg Even when my radio is loud I can here rattle, like I said I am really sensitive, I can here every little thing, it sucks to live like this. My last vehicle had a few sounds that were anoying, the clutch pedal and the seat squeeked, both were fixed after several attempts by the dealer. It also had this rattle coming from the floor mounted transfercase shifter, the dealer couldnt resolve it, I actually didnt drive it for months because of it and I eventually figured it out, the linage for the shifter was making noise, and I wraped it in tape and it went away. At some point I will start tearing apart my car to fix these if the dealer cant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Velvet Revolver single handedly destroyed my ability to hear really high frequencies and real quiet noises. Ignorance is bliss. Go Cardinals!
