I have been hearing a lot of vibration from the rear deck behind the rear seats. The vibration some time comes when I'm driving some rough patches of pavement, but most often time comes from when the bass from the stereo is turned up high. I asked my wife to put her hand on the deck to feel where the vibration and rattles are coming from. Turn out, it is just some rattling from the plastic pieces that make up the rear deck.

Have anyone also experience the rattling from the rear deck? Any remedy out there to stop the rattling?

 

Only rattling I've had is the steering wheel controls.

Have Nissan inspect it to ensure all clips are secure. I have the plastic piece on bottom right side of passenger seat falling off because the clip broke. **** happens...

If they cannot find a solution, you can always use dynamat. It should eliminate the problem cause by audio.

 

I have the exact same rattling or vibration noise coming from the rear deck in my Platinum and went through similar steps to find it and possibly wedge something in somewhere to stop it without luck. I started to go through the process to remove the rear deck to figure it out and canceled that plan since the car is so new. I'm continuing to try things to find and stop it but nothing yet.

 

I am so obsessed with having a quiet ride, even though it is a pipe dream with any car. I am hearing vibration noise emanating from the right rear passenger area. I do not know what is causing it and it's driving me insane. The rear-view mirror also vibrates and makes noise. Sigh.

 

Like you, I will not tolerate rattles or creaks in my car. So far, in 13 months, I have chased a creaking noise to styrofoam cups in the console cupholders, a clinking noise to a pair of scissors in the glove compartment, and a tinny rattle to the nose pieces on a pair of sunglasses in the overhead glasses holder. Lucky so far. The rattles I hope I don't get are inside the dash or inside the doors, as those can be difficult to find and fix.

 

The rear deck rattle that I experience mostly only happens when I really turn up the bass. My temporary solution is not to turn the bass or the volume so high. Maybe one day I will take Greenman03's advice to dynamat around the speakers. Please do share if there is any easier/cheaper remedy.

But BY FAR, the most annoying rattle I hear in the car is the steering column rattle when driving over concrete pavement. The noise is right in front of me below the steering wheel and it is not from the trim pieces. I can't understand what underneath the trim pieces would cause such nuisance, but it drives me mad every time when I hear it.

My driver side door panel (where the panel meets the door frame) also rattles, but it is very faint and I can easily stop it by resting my elbow on it for a second. It is still annoying as it is right beside my left ear, but it is faint enough that I don't hear it when there is any music playing in the car.
