What is the most annoying rattle in your car?

My most annoying rattle has got to be the passenger side seatbelt buckle tapping on the door. I can't stand it. Why does it do that anyways? Who the f*** makes a car that does that? I've never seen it happen in any other car. Is there a fix for this??? It's driving me nuts.

For the passenger seatbelt rattle, i've learned that you have to move the seat so the belt buckle is not sandwiched between the seat and the door. gotta adjust the recline or seat position.

I've started to develop a few NVH issues:
1) Whistle at rear-side of driver window above 80 mph
2) vibration caused by bass in passenger side of dash
3) bass rattle in left rear seat speaker

seat belt shoulder pad, in gray or tan felt like material, easy to find with no 'flair' or writing. 9.99 at any target/walmart/autozone/pepboys.

Velcros around the seat belt buckle and also keeps the seat belt extention arm off the passenger seat. Best $10 you'll spend. Easy for passengers to remove, something they even use it for their shoulder, easy for them to replace when they get out.

If I had to choose from the rattles I have I would say the passenger side seatbelt buckle tapping on the door. Has anyone used dynomat to get rid of some of the road noise?

Cool

My # 1 is probably the dumbest of all.

1) The card holder, right about your left ear, in the headliner. The damn thing sounded like a mosquito buzzing around my head all of the time. I fixed that by inserting my roadside assistance card into it.
2) Is like everyone else, that annoying seatbelt on the passenger side.

No rattle from the passenger seat belt. I have a 2005 so maybe they fixed the problem.

Cool

^^ Most of that has to do with the Bose "Bass." Simply make the adjustment on the tuner, and you'll notice the difference.
