I brought mine in for what sounds like the same issue. They said in my case the grille was actually touching the windshield but while “fixing” they damaged the grille itself and I’ve been waiting for a replacement part ever since. I have had to push the appointment 2x now due to parts unavailability with the next attempt being next week. Hopefully they will actually fix it this time.
haha we seem to have the same problem.
The grill is a buzz, the squeak seems to be the left corner of the top part of the dash, the part that meets up with the door
Based on what? I have 32 items that need fixing when I bring mine in tomorrow for the post delivery fixes. They're already trying to charge me $143 for the missing plastic grease plug that goes in the tow receiver port. I responded in the app asking why they're quoting me $143 for a 50 cent piece of plastic that they forgot to install.
I'll definitely have a talk with them tomorrow. Officially the Tesla limited warranty excludes "normal noise and vibration" (page 7 of the linked doc).

I brought mine in for the same reason. It seems better, but not completely gone. Fortunately, they didn’t damage anything else. I heard about somebody else saying that the SC damaged the Alcântara on one of their A pillars removing the speaker grille.

They didn’t give me any problems with the dashboard squeak repair, but I imagine if enough people bring their cars in for that, they will start saying it is “within spec.”
Was this a new noise or one you reported in the first 100 miles/24 miles? If the latter, it's a due bill issue since you technically can't gain access and test drive it before you accept it. If it's the former, then you have to fight with them over what "normal" is.

not an "issue" but got a screw on the sidewall of my rear 22" tires (not repairable) - the local tire shops couldn't order any from Continental since they're so new but LUCKILY Tesla roadside showed up this morning (apparently they just got stock yesterday night) and he replaced it for me $420 out the door 
I had noticed the rattle on day 2 of ownership and thought I could live with it given all the repair horror stories. I brought it up at my first SC visit a few weeks ago for other issues but the SA said I would have to open a new ticket. They deferred one of my repairs to tomorrow due to part availability. I then added the rattle concern to this ticket and they decided to charge me $105.

My dashboard top had fraying stitching on the instrument cluster, so luckily was scheduled to be replaced before the rattle from the speaker grille started. they still noticed the noise after the new dash top was installed, so they put some insulation felt between the grille and windshield. Its dead silent in the vehicle ever since.

I've searched the forums to see if anyone else is complaining about this issue, but haven't found any hits. Has everyone else noticed the inconsistent volume of the turn signal sound? Sometimes it's at a normal volume and sometimes the turn signal click sound is deafening loud. I hope they fix this in a future software release.
The clicks adapt to the sound level of the entertainment system and speed. You might try Joe Mode, that reduces all vehicle tone/clicks/beeps a significant amount (for me, a bit too much).

I guess I can try "Joe Mode" and I did assume the change in volume it was part of the adaptive sound leveling. It just seems like their sound leveling processing isn't very good.

if stitching is fraying they will replace it? i have fraying on the driver door handle that's annoying
I noticed this also, especially when I'm talking to my wife on the phone and she's the one driving the X. The turn signals are ridiculously loud for the person on the other end of the call. I jokingly told her to stop using her turn signals when she's on the phone with me
In my area, the rules now prevent the driver from using the phone at all, while driving.
