Just upgraded from a 2017 Touring to a 2020 Si.
Rattles in the 2017:
Sub rattle - solved by shoving shims between the crack sheet metal and the brake light plastic housing inside the trunk, as well as bending the wires on the far front side of the sub away from hitting the cone of the sub.
Driver door/a-pillar rattle: diagnosed by pushing my knee to the left against the armrest area to move the door panel inwards. My guess is that either the door panel was rattling against the concave part of the dash, or the separate plastic piece that holds the tweeter had loose/broken tabs. solved by putting felt pads on that concave part of the dash, also shoving a pack of gum or something else with similar thickness and squishiness in that crack between the door and the dash.
any other rattles were solved with the universal problem solver - bang on the general area until the noise/problem is gone.
on the 2020, no rattles so far. maybe the sub wire rattle when the volume is cranked to max and the subwoofer power setting is set to max but i haven’t attempted solving that yet since it’s very rare.
