vibration noise front console

[eastgurl]

Hi,Has anyone experienced a vibration noise coming from the speakers by the front console? It comes & go and I only notice it after I've been driving for over an hour or so. What equipment is located underneath the front center speakers (by the windshield) and center vents? Is this a serious issue or is it just a cheap part made by Nissan (therefore nothing to be concerned with)?? Thanks.

I've heard it before too and as you said it comes and goes. Mine seems to be coming from the front dash on the driver's side. Any ideas?

The only noise I hear from the dash is a 'ping' sound when I make hard left hand turns. It's weird, kinda like somone flicking their fingernail on an empty tin can. And only when I turn left.

The vibration sound you are hearing sounds fairly normal.

on really hot days i hear like a plastic flapping/rattle right behind the center AC vents when going over any bumps in the road.

It goes away, and like i said.. it only seems to happen on really hot days.the funny thing is my wife's vibe does the same exact thing..

There is a TSB for this rattling/buzzing sound which may be more likely to occur when turning. There is a link the Nissan TSB page somewhere on this site. It may require a decent amount of surgery to remedy, but I have learned to live with a similar issue on my other car until it gradually subsided over the years.

There is indeed a TSB, but it's for a squeak from the shifter area when turning or driving on bumpy roads. It's NTB08031. The fix is quite simple and can be performed by the dealer under warranty.
