Default Interior rattles/buzz

I know I'm not the only one that once suffered from interior buzzes/rattles from the plastic dash, armrests, shifter bezel and so on. But there is hope. I just picked up a roll of double sided sticky tape from ACE and a pack of that sticky putty that you put on the back of picture frames to prevent them from swinging.

I just pulled off my bezels, put a little of the putty on the contact areas and some double sticky tape on the large flat surfaces and for less than 10 bucks, my car doesn't rattle or buzz driving down the road. Thought you guys might want to hear how easy it is to get rid of the annoying sounds coming from your interior.

Mine wasnt terrible back when it was stock. However with the exhaust installed for about 3 years now, everything in the interior just gets buzzed to hell though the lower rpms.

I gave up on trying to identify half of them.

I don't mind it though, probably not worth it in my estimation to take the dash apart to try to stop it.

Took me 10 maybe 15 minutes from start to finish.

Was yours just rattling because of bumps and stuff in teh road, or was it like mine, with the exhaust reverborating through the cabin iike a bull horn at 2K rpms?

Seriously, and the only time it gets annoying, if at all, is on long road trips, otherwise, I couldn't care less.
