Interior rattles at around 4000 rpm?

[drummerdimitri]

I've noticed that whenever the engine reaches around 4000 rpm, there is a strong rattling sound coming from what seems to be the dashboard of the car.

I'm guessing something must be resonating at specific frequency when the engine is running that fast but seems to disappear after 100-200 rpms later.

Anyone else have this issue? Could it be the artificial engine sound causing a speaker to rattle or is it something else?

Heard of the clocks binnacle rattling before, can you be more specific.

Could be that but I can't find a way to make sure of it.

Hold your finger on the bottom of it when it starts, if the rattle stops BINGO. I think the fix is a small piece of sponge applied to the rear of it but the dealer should do it if it's still under warranty.

I had a rattle on my S3 and I got the dealer to have a look while it was in for some other warranty work. The lower dash on the driver's side was removed and refitted......problem solved.

Not exactly sure what had caused the issue in the first place and whether it will return, but I'm happy for now.

The car is full of rattles and squeaks and I have no idea where they are coming from.

Can honestly say the only squeak/creak I had was the panoramic roof but cured with silicon spray. How old is the car ?? Get it back to the dealer for warranty work if you can, most dealers will fix it.

The car is about 6 months old.

I will visit my dealer to have the squeaks and rattles fixed.

Make sure you say "Let me know when all the work is completed or I will be seeking further advice" (that's if they **** you about mind), also insist to take a fitter out in the car to prove the squeaks/rattle exists. Good luck fella.

My B-pillars rattle over bumps, does my head in.

Is so far the only thing I don't like about the car. That and the squeaky brakes when reversing first thing in the morning.

Not sure what everyone was expecting from an Audi ?!

Should have bought a Ford....Vauxhall....Suzuki....Daewoo.....Peugeot.....Add Brand Here.

To be fair mate, there are other people far more negative in this forum. You know full well who they are, as they trash every thread with their over opinionated views. I think if he's got a grievance he's OK to air it and try and sort it out.

My doubts were proven to be correct and I have rectified the problem.

I had a feeling it had to do with the fake engine noise generated with the dashboard speaker and I was right!

My local tuner used VCDS to disable the feature and now the interior rattles no more and the engine sounds better without all that high rpm harshness.
