Mines rattles a lot on the driver side column, I think the plastic from that cover its kinda loose or not fit properly, so it impacts the windshield on the edge. I put a little foam pad to make pressure and the rattle disappeared. This is definitely not a permanent fix but I will let the dealer know on my next visit.

So far I hear clicking noises after a leave the car in a very hot place and turn the AC on. That's without counting the passenger seat belt bucket hitting the side on the door but I think that normal.

When I first got my car (Honda Civic EX 2016), everything was solid, no issue.
Today:
- I have a rattle sound in the ceiling, it's been the third time I service, and each time, it is fixed, but a new one comes out. Still need to bring it again for service but this time for a vibration on the font passenger seat, and rear seat on the driver side (in the column at the top of the window)
- My side mirror rattle when closing the door on each side
- The top dash rattles at times (I guess it depends on the temperature as the plastic expands or shrinks)

I have a couple squeaks and minor rattles here and there (2017 EX-L). But to me, it's really not bad at all. This isn't a high end vehicle after all. Plus, I rarely hear them anyway cause my stereo is blasting. :)

I have a 2018 HB ST and 4 months later, I have a small rattle from both back doors (I suspect the tweeters in the upper door panel), I have a central dash rattle, and a rattle from both front doors.
That may sound horrific, but none of them are a bother really. It is only when I am on rough roads that they make their presence known, and even then they aren't all singing at once..lol

Slight rattle from passenger seat belt area, and squeaking from the trunk. Nothing too bad or out of the ordinary for a mass produced car. I rode in the backseat of a current gen Corolla as an uber, that had much worse rattles than my car. Felt somewhat appreciative after that ;)

my made in Canada 6mt coupe has, so far, been the tightest, quietest most solid car I've ever had. The only noise I hear is a very faint sound when I'm shifting gears. It sounds like a cable warbling, if that makes any sense. Like a small cable is moving ,quickly, sideways back and forth?
Has anyone else with the mt noticed this?It's a very quiet sound, you really have to listen for it.

Having now owned four Si coupes, I can say with certainty where three rattle culprits lie.

First, the seat belt tensioners. Second, wiring in the pillars and ceiling. Third, the gosh darned plastic panel behind the back seats.

Every one I buy has the same rattles and noises.

The fit and finish in my 2020 Civic is a bit shitty tbh, though better than that dog shit of interior quality that was my aunts 2012 Corolla that literally has worse fit and finish than my old 2001 Chevy Cavalier. Honda and Toyota just do not seem to care about build quality on their interiors of their cheaper models like they used to, but at least they are still reliable mechanically.
