Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / March 200706 Sonata LX rattles from the front passenger area
I have an 06 Sonata LX and recently I have noticed some (extremely annoying) rattling noises coming from the front passenger side area. It only occurs when I hit bumps, and in New England weather, the frost heaves are everywhere. I am not sure if it's the speaker in the passenger door, the actual passenger seat, or the glove box. My suspicion of the passenger seat is because the noise becomes quite faint when I have a passenger, and only more noticable when I hit a bigger bump in the road. My reasoning for the glove box is because it seems to become louder when I drive with it open. The speaker is a silly thing to think of, it's possible, but why after a year did it come loose? Hyundaitech....any clues? -M We have a 2006 Sonata with a similar sound. Couldn't figure it out. Turns out it was a rattling leaf underneath the hood near the wipers! >I have an 06 Sonata LX and recently I have noticed some (extremely >annoying) rattling noises coming from the front passenger side area. [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > >-M I don't have anything good to report. I've seen cowl rattles, insufficient body welding (not structurally), excessive windshield sealing causing the cowl to rub, and fenders rubbing on the a-pillar. It'll probably take someone digging in to find the noise. I say take it the the dealer and let them worry about it. You'll be making some dealer technician unhappy, but that's part of the job, sometimes. At least it won't be me this time. I'm not in New England. you might search this group for similar post, I think others have discussed something like it. I had a creak really, not so much a rattle...only in cold weather over washboard surfaces and at hiway expansion joints. As it disappeared over, say, 50 degrees, I ignored it. I did mention it to the dealer when in for routine maintenance. I cleaned out the car, bins ,and truck just in case they would look for it. When I got my car back, the mechanic complained I had too much loose stuff in the car to chase a rattle! I had a small stuffed animal on the dash!....Well, low and behold, the rattle was gone...they fixed it though no mention of fix is on the repair order..........I think some suspect windshield/dash panel fit. >I have an 06 Sonata LX and recently I have noticed some (extremely > annoying) rattling noises coming from the front passenger side area.

I really HATE new cars...always something needs fixing. Not as bad as it was years ago though! D> I really HATE new cars...always something needs fixing. I have a 1996 vehicle that is in that situation. OTOH my 2005 Tib never had anything that needed fixing. Best Regards Wayne Moses <wmoses@houston.rr.com> Tue, 13 Mar 2007 18:28:49 -0500 I do recall prior posts in this group regarding noises from the windshield. I had the same noises until I had my windshield replaced the noises went away. The problem was mentioned to the tech who did the replacement, he said it is a common problem with the robotics in the manufacturing process 'slam' the windshield onto the seal, crushing the seal and not allowing enough adhesive to bond. Made complete sense to me. The noises I am hearing are different than the windshield. The source seems to generate in the area of the floor/firewall of the passenger side. Hyundaitech - Is the cowl something that I can fix? Maybe by cutting away excess sealant from the windshield? Also, I noticed one area on the front passenger floor that 'pops' everytime I put my weight on it. It's like something isn't attached beneath the carpet. -M You can remove the cowl and then drive the car to see if the noise goes away. Since the area that pops is in the same vicinity as your noise, I'd suspect they have the same cause. Typically, noises like this are caused by two pieces of sheet metal that rub together when the body flexes. The last time I worked on a car that had a noise with such a cause, the noise was coming from the right upper corner windshield. I ended up sending it to the body shop with instructions to spot weld five places in the corner to prevent the rubbing when the body flexes. Came back quiet. You can remove the cowl and drive the car to see if the noise persists. Since you report a popping when you put pressure on the passenger floorboard, I'd suspect that's the origin of the noise you're hearing. It's roughly the same area. Chances are that two pieces of sheet metal are rubbing when the body flexes over bumps. If that's the case, you'll want the dealer to find the issue and instruct a good body shop on where to spot weld to keep the panels from rubbing. Well I guess the posts got too long on the other site where we were discussing This. BUT: I went to my laptop on wifi on another ISP and I can't read these posts. I went to my friend's house with the same result. Went to the Library with same result... Must be the air in California causing it!!:) >Well I guess the posts got too long on the other site where we were >discussing This.

It looks like gibberish :) It's probably how our newsreaders are handling whatever he's using to post or something like that. kaboomie k> **Nah. I can't read Wayne's posts either.

Well I just changed the default encoding from Western European (Windows) to Western European (ISO), and left the text format as Quoted Printable. There are others aho don't have the problems you are having and I hope that with these changes they can still read my posts.

If there is a way to change the newsreader, I don't know about it. Funny I can read any post on any forum except his on here. We WILL all get along,. It's not a matter of national emergency!!:) > But first....I would have to know what a newsreader is! Wayne's are > the only posts that I cant read! Sorry Wayne.

It's > not a matter of national emergency!!:) I can read Wayne's posts fine, although they are formatted rather strangely. Like a cross between HTML and ASCII. He is using Qusnetsoft NewsReader 3.3.0.11 as his newsreader. I'll try to do some research and see if I can figure out what the problem is.

As such, there are too many variables for me to figure it out without a device of my own to experiment with. Wayne, check your Outlook settings and see if anything seems out of the ordinary.

Thanks Eric. It was working fine all along until these recent complaints. Now I cannot update the Newsgroups on the Pocket PC. It does not actually go through Outlook. Quesenetsoft Newsreader connects to the NNTP server through the USB port via ActiveSync and can do so witelessly without the laptop being on. I will have to troubleshoot this over the weekend. This message should ve readable and is being sent via Agent -- one of the best PC-based newsreaders on the market. I just wished the authors would make one for the PPC and then I could get rid of the Russian Qusenetsoft Newsreader.

I can feel your pain. After years and years of experimentation, I finally went with Xnews. I agree that Agent is an excellent program, but when dealing with binaries, I found Xnews to be just a little more efficient for my needs. Interesting that it doesn't need Outlook. Although I admit readin through the broken English was a bit difficult. Eric >But first....I would have to know what a newsreader is! Wayne's are the >only posts that I cant read! Sorry Wayne.

It's not a matter of national >emergency!!:) Simply a program to allow the user to connect to NNTP servers and download USENET newsgroups such as this one. I will be looking into this on the weekend. Thanks for the help. Best Regards, Wayne Moses | Houston, Texas 2005 Hyundai Tiburon GT V6 5-speed this one was clear as a bell....thanks Wayne >this one was clear as a bell....thanks Wayne **Yea, Hi Wayne! Finally :) Nice to meet you. It's too bad they don't make the FreeAgent newsreader anymore, Deck. It's nifty for simple newsreading. kaboomie I think it may be a problem with the receiver of the messages. If I read the messages on www.talkaboutautos.com, they've got lots of extra characters and are very difficult to read. On the other hand, if I read them at www.autoboardz.com, they are clear. How about that....they ARE! Strange...! Try securing the passenger head restraint. >I have an 06 Sonata LX and recently I have noticed some (extremely > annoying) rattling noises coming from the front passenger side area.
