The annoying sound seems to be coming from the dash and starts at around 40-4mph. I searched and found similar problems from last year:
http://www.zer0.info/solaraguy/viewtopi ... sc&start=0

I checked the glovebox and the seat as others suggested but the problem seems to the elsewhere. I thought it was the outside mirror but I was wrong. Any other possible solutions?

Thanks

------ MY SOLUTION ----

Took apart the door panel following instructions I found by searching the forum. (Thanks)

For some unknown reason one of the 2 nuts (10 mm) was missing from a stud which held the track for the glass.. The rattle came from the stud bouncing agains the metal.

what should we call you by?

as for the rattle, take out your glove box and see if it still rattles when you drive.

Check the passenger seat. Mine rattled like crazy for a while; you can check this by pushing down on the seat when it starts rattling. Also it could be your front mud flap and the associated body trim under the car. Check and make sure those are all tightened up.

I know 5sfe's got a little viberation, but for a 1mz that a new thing to me. For my car, i just place the passanger seat as far back as possible and have it really reclined as much as possible and keep my laptop bag on it..it diminishes the rattles

I stuffed a lot of foam rubber chunks into the springs under the seat. That seemed to help a bit.

do you have an aftermarket exhaust??

i have a JIC bullet exhaust and it's sooo loud that it vibrates my. . . .















here's the answer: balls.
