Buzzing interior...vibration noise is driving me nuts
Any way to get rid of this? My Z is an '06, and only a few months old. I get this buzzing vibrating noise from somewhere in the car, and I think it is coming from somewhere on the dash. Anyone found a way to remedy this?

your dealer has a rattle fix get that has some padding they put in it. or you can do it yourself. i think i remember seeing a thread on here that someone did a step by step with pics of how they got rid of the rattle

Do you have your steering wheel all the way UP ?
I like my steering wheel high. Ever since I adjusted it up, I frequently get that buzzing rattle sound.
Like there is something lose behind the instruments.
If you are outside the vehicle and look through the windshield, at the 3 Circular curves behind the cluster, it appears to be coming from there.
I have no fix as yet. Tomorrow I will try lowering the Steering slightly to see if it goes away.

I had the same problem, there was a buzz behind the instrument cluster. What I did was put pressure on various places until the buzzing stopped. Once I found a spot that relieved the noise, I jammed a small piece of black cloth between that spot and the windshield. You don't notice the cloth, and the noise disappears.

* Squeeky Seat... comes and goes. If it starts again, I'm taking the seat out and spraying electrical grease on all friction points.
* Passenger door buzzes... Push on it and it goes away. It's coming off this weekend... greasing all contact points.
It's a sports car... nature of the breed.
Chill, dude. Think Logically, and find a solution.

dealers have a thing with the service department where they look for the rattles...
we cometimes get Z's in where tech's spend literally all day on it, sometimes ot the point taking out all the interior panels...
my Z was a rattle box... and didnt have an interior in it

according to the TSB its the peice of plastic that covers the wires that go to your rear view mirror. That peice snaps right off so next time you hear it grab it and pull it off... if the buzz goes away then the next time you are at the stealership you can have them do the tsb or somehow pad that peice yourself so it doesn't make any noise.

i've addressed this instrument cluster rattle once before in another thread...
last summer while driving around downtown Reno, i noticed this constant rattling somewhere behind the instrument panel for the first time in my 03. One of my favorite nissan tech took care of it in no time. i woulda sold my Z if that rattle wasn't fixed. Now it rides like a dream.
