 Hi, I had a most annoying rattle, almost a buzz, coming from the dash. Unless it was on a billard table smooth surface, it was there just like a fly.

Anyhow, son reached up behind the rear vision mirror and squeezed the plastic trim, a snap, and then buzz gone.

Great!

 Yup same happened to me. Shows how difficult it is to detect where such noises come from!!

 You must have quick reactions to catch a buzzing fly like that

 Aha, yes the younger generation have much faster reflexes (for flies and rattles?)

 The other day I was cruising along the motorway and being super picky I could hear a slight rattle somewhere. I spent ages trying to fond it, and guess what it was?

The movement in my automatic watch!! I could hear the rotor spinning...

 You must have a watch with Valjoux 7750 movement then - can't think of many other movement rotors that would be that audible... Not really wanting to start a debate about fine watch movements...

Why not?

My ETA 2824-2 is pretty much silent. If my car's road noise was suppressed enough so I could it I would be very happy indeed

 It's a Longines Legend Diver, so it's an ETA of some sort. On reflection I think it could be the bearings in the internal crown making a similar sound rather than the rotor.

Quite a few. Probably people who also have a turntable, maybe a valve amp too, and regularly photograph with film.

Oh, and they probably have unusual taste in cars too.

 Totally have a turntable, used to have several valve amps (bass guitar) and film cameras!

 mine buzzes annoyingly around the centre screen. The plastic around that must be put together with blu-tack as it buzzes pretty bad. I have to push it until it stops. A better solution is to blast Springsteen out as that seem to drown out the buzzing!
