Hard to describe exactly. Kind of a rubbing, rattle, creaky kind of sound. Sounds like it's coming from in between the door and then dash. Maybe lower dash (near brake area).

Anyone experience this?

Are you referring to where the leather seat meets the plastic on the left front side?

Did you try checking the fuse panel area? Maybe the block is loose?

That is a possibility. In another thread (on how to disable the infotainment display to keep it locked) I showed how that fuse block is only held in by two clips. It snaps onto them.

It’s a good suggestion and I checked. It seems secure. It’s the door rubbing against the dash. Pretty sure.

Don’t really care any more there is now a cacophony of small rattles that drown each other out.

Can you replicate it with your hands? Pushing, knocking, etc.?

Vibration in my Denali same place. Music, even when not very loud, and other conditions, cause it. If u put solid pressure on the door panel under the door handle/lock area, as close to the dash as you can, it stops (on mine). Pulling my door panels off for a diff project when the weather breaks so I plan to address it then.

Hope this helps.

Here is the pressure point. Figure I'd take advantage of my time sitting in this Chick Fila line. a329a54cc99953c26704d1dc2bc39ef8.jpg

I am having the same rattling/creaking/rubbing sound at the area described in this thread on my 2017 Escalade. I took apart door seal/weatherstip as well as A pillar assembly to no avail. I'm wondering if the side pillar airbag is the source. The noise is driving me crazy. Any more ideas or solution???
