Rattling noise from dashboard (also when stationary)

[WllXM]

Hi,

One month into my MYLR and everything's great except that I am slightly annoyed by a strange rattling noise that happens both when I'm driving & stationary, at random times for 5-10 secs then a pause, then it starts again. It was subtle at first, but since I started noticing it, it's really irritating now...
I would best describe it like a HDD writing data coming from inside the dashboard, but I know there is no mechanical HD in the car...

What do you think it could be? And more importantly, has anybody noticed the same in his?

Audio attached if it helps (slightly enhanced).

Hello,

I have a similar noise.
once at the front left of the dashboard and another somewhere at the top right.

it sounds similar to me.

I'll try to get the fairing off and possibly insulate it with some tape (textile) and foam.

Does it change with blower speed or placement?

AC Blower noise (Found)

Had this weird tapping/crackling/popping sounds coming from the vent for some time. It was coming from the passengers side and would only make noise when the blower was set to blow air towards passengers, not the windshield or floor. It also only made noise when the blower speed was set to 3-5...

no, the noise is independent of it. I suspect there are some clamps which are not tight enough. possibly also dependent on the temperature. it's been getting cooler here for a few weeks (autumn) and i suspect there's a connection. When the heater is on or the sun warms up the car, it seems to me that it crackles and rattles more.

It does seem to be an electronic noise, and again it also does it when the car is at a complete stop.
It's possible that it's the HVAC system, but not sure on how I would investigate that. First I just wanted to make sure it was not only on mine and affecting others too

I understand what you mean. I also have noises, such as the HVAC or some pump/fan which is always running. I think that due to the general "quietness" compared to an ICE, it is more noticeable when electronic devices make noises and you become more sensitive as a result. Unfortunately I don't know your noise and can't say if it's the same for me.

I'l try to make a better recording. But as I described it, it's like an old school hard-drive writing data. You can hear it if you play my recording above, first two seconds and last two (0.05 to 0.06)
