Can you describe it? At least a little bit ... beyond "door rattle"?

Lots of folks have had issues with the speaker unit in the door, maybe that's you?

Mike in CA knows. I forget what it is, but I think it's a simple fix.

Def sounds like it comes from the speaker. Pass. side. Hard to locate. Describing sounds can be difficult.

I'm interested as well. I keep hearing rattles from the door randomly so trying to determine if I'm nuts or correct.

Mine comes on in top gears with a certain resonance. I.e. Modestly hard acceleration about 4k. Sounds like something is loose is the glovebox. Very subtle, yet annoying enough

Chasing rattles and little noises will drive you insane. Learn to accept them and be one with the car. Unless it's really really an annoying one. I'm serious.

I have lots of noises and beautiful rattles in my RS but the GT3 rattles are not the normal rattles we have come to love on GT3 models. They definitely are annoying on my GT3. I just need to find the time to take it in.

I've been chasing the deck rattle too. Took it to the dealer and it still is there. Annoying.

Very true. My .2 had noises, but this one is very unusual. Pretty solid otherwise.

The rattle I had was from the rear deck lid and it was resonating in the cabin. A minor adjustment of the rubber stops fixed it. I never had a door rattle. When my car was brand new I had a noisy window regulator in the driver's door. The dealer replaced it and of course the door panel had to come off to do that. Maybe that operation inadvertently fixed the potential rattle source but in any event, no door rattle has ever shown up.

There are various minor creaks and rattles that do show up on occasion, especially when the car is cold as in cold ambient temperature. Once things heat up and all the piece parts expand it all seems pretty tight and solid. I've noticed this in other cars as well....

Thanks Mike. That was my first thought and the dealer was going to look into the stops. I suspect it is due to the extra weight of the wing as it vibrates. I'll keep at it.

Other than that I have been pretty tight.

I had rattle on the dash, it was under the chrono...
I had rattle on the back, same as Mike in CA it was the rear deck lid adjusted by the rubber...

From few days, I noticed a rattle in the driver door speaker. I guess dealer will have to open up...
