Rattling Noise in the Front - Toyota Yaris Forums

kuyachris84 · 10-09-2009, 09:51 PM

When I turn my music up and it has a lot of bass... somewhere in the front of the car... it starts to rattle and it gets pretty annoying. Something inside the car is vibrating and I can't pinpoint what's causing the rattling. Anyone ever have or experience this problem? Any solutions?

passenger side? or driver side? where in the front?

it's because you blast the OEM speakers. I'm sure it's up front because same thing happened to my car. so now, i put bass at -5...;(

i was thinking that too. if the bass is cranked up its because the speakers are crap.

i have my door speakers cross overed so no bass goes through them.. all the bas comes from the junk in the trunk :)

I hear it more coming from the passenger side. And yes... i have the bass turned up.

sooner or later it will be both sides if you don't turn it down. ;) just buy some good ol' aftermarket speakers then crank it up lol

Sometimes the rattles come from where the under dash vent tubes attach to the vents above the cup holders. I took a large soft car wash sponge cut it in quarters and gently wedged a piece beneath these junctions. Remove the lower glove box using the same technique outlined below for the small storage bin. Open the pull down hinged access panel under the steering wheel and carefully remove the small storage bin below the dash dimmer dial to get a good look where to stuff. The bin can be snapped out by pulling upward. The stops on the top then can be slid down to the removal notches on the opening. Works for me.
My car has had many rattles that I've hunted down. Some remain. Some I've fixed using advise I've found here on this fine site. Some owners have been lucky to have rattle free cars. Not me. Even so I love my little car.
