I've got some little something-or-other making an annoying little rattle when I go over bumps. Seems to be coming from directly behind the HVAC knobs or thereabouts.
In my mind's eye (or ear, I guess), it sounds like what would happen if you put a couple of washers on a threaded bolt and then didn't tighten the nut all the way down, leaving enough freeplay for the washers to shimmy.
I can't recreate the noise manually by tapping on anything. I actually have to be driving, and hit a bump. On smooth pavement, naturally, I almost never hear the sound. On cracked or older roads, though, it's like my dash has its own personal finger cymbals. If only I could find and tighten down whatever it is!
