4K+ RPM noise culprit: buzzing ash tray / coin cubby
After nearly two years of chasing down the buzzing/rattling sound that appeared to be coming from the rear of the car at 4K RPM and above, the dealer and I finally figured out it’s actually the little plastic coin cubby in the center console! When it is firmly pressed down, the noise goes away.
The problem is that they can’t figure out a permanent fix. They tried putting some felt tape around it, but apparently this is only partially effective.
Anyway, I know a bunch of us have been trying to identify this particular annoying sound and wanted to share the discovery. Also, I’m hoping someone else may have figured out how to get rid of it . . .

I chased after this for a couple weeks when I first got my car. It was the little ring loop on a key chain that my daughter had made for me that was connected to the key!

My “ash tray” does same thing... Now passenger seat area is buzzing... (no buzz when someone in it)

I can support, pushing down on the "coin tray" dampens the sound.
Windows down, I never hear it.
