Another what’s that sound post

Mudder · Mar 15, 2018

It’s driving me nuts. It just started the past two days. It seems to be coming from the dash area. It’s a high pitched almost rattle, or sounds like plastic crumpling or creaking against each other. Tends to be loudest when I’m turning and hit a bump. I’ve felt around to see if speaker grills etc were loose, but I’ve not investigated a lot yet due to not having time.

Any thoughts on what it might be? It’s pretty loud and extremely annoying. 2017 Express 4wd CC.

Mudder, my new Laramie was making a noise very similar. I found that mine was where the base of the console meets the dash. I could reproduce it by pushing in on the dash down by the seat heat buttons. The console base was rubbing against that vertical dash panel so I stuck thin rubber on each side to prevent plastic to plastic contact. Noise gone.

I appreciate the suggestion. I don’t think that’s what I’ve got going on here as I don’t have a console. But it does sound like plastic rubbing together.

It also seems to get worse the colder it is outside.

Curious to see what you find as I have what you described but coming from the driver door side/dash area. Drives me crazy going down the road so much I crank the radio to drown it out!

Well I believe it is the dash speaker grille on the passenger side. I’ve been busy and now have family visiting so I may not have a definite answer for a while. Got to mess with it the other day going down a gravel road with my wife driving and that seems to be the culprit.
