strange rattling noises. Can someone help diagnose?

When you put items on these vents you stress the plastic and then it starts making noises harmonically wind moves it vibrations in the car move it differently than it did when it was unstressed things like that I don't put anythings in the vents of any of the vehicles that I drive My wife and daughter do and they have these noises The seat I'm not sure about as they both are fully planted in the seat with no mercy to the seat.

 

Right they won't rattle when something's hanging on them because the weight is acting as a cantalevor what have you. I was thinking the vent on the far right that you have circled may have had something on it previously in its life whatever that hanging of whatever so in other words maybe try hanging something on it since it's already making a racket and see if the racket stops like a normal thing a charger a hold or whatever the hell those things are y'all put in there. And then that probably will answer your question because if that shuts it right up pretty good that's probably what was there that caused the flex and now makes the noise or at least that's what I would be led to believe.

 

Softex leather or cloth. Either way they have bands I think running underneath as supports they can get a little twangy like guitar strings sometimes I do believe but a tick not certain could be another stretch on a spring or a hog ring type of fastener which is generally used on the upholstery Make sure that your seat is clicked in securely the seat back at whatever angle you're at sometimes you can get the sides out of sync so they're not both on the same count of clicks if you will.

 

Well I don't know what that is I'm sure it's some fancy upholstery where they take off all the other upholstery and this stuff mounts to the foamss and the seat rails and is hog ringed on . I would have to look at their site but I believe I remember somebody talking about doing this or not doing this and letting someone else deal with it and then a post before that where somebody was doing it and ordering it and I said it should basically just slip on the pieces should be already all made the seat back the seat base or butt area all that so all you have to do is make sure your foams are correct like at the bolsters and things you may have to take another seat apart from another car to get foams out or you can try and buy foam and learn how to shape it.

 

So you will probably have to really get down under the seat right there where the bottom meets the back there's a cover plaque if you will that can be generally undone and you can peel that back and actually look under the seat base and see if there's anything loose that can make this ticking noise that you're talking about

 

Ah yes diiint pay attention . It was gen3 . All of interior in that model can shake rattle n roll easily. Just the stereo on can do it . Wait till the door panel start to go then they'll rattle and shake every time you're listening to NPR
