I intentionally induced some NVH. The car, from the factory is way too quiet for my liking.

I want to hear the engine, exhaust and transmission whine; it's the car talking to me!

If I wanted quiet, I would have purchased a Lexus!

Regarding rattles and such; ablolutely none, even with the very firm suspension.

I've had mine since November '09 and have around 12,500 miles already. Very solidly built! I thought I had an intermittant dash board rattle a while back, but it turned out it was my sunglasses, that were attached to the sun visor (little clip)...it was driving me crazy.

13 months and almost 12K. I've had two. They had to replace the instrument cluster for the first. A fastener was broken at the time of manufacture. Now I have an intermittent one in the passenger airbag somewhere. If I press on the airbag cover it stops. I will have it looked at during my next scheduled maintenance. No squeaks at all though.

2010 V6 Premium Convertible, 32000 miles. Today is Dec 21, the car has been at the dealer/service since Dec 14. Vent door actuator needed replacing. There are 3 actuators and they have replaced 2 of the three, had to order the third. There is a rattle in the front end and they have replaced the lower control arms to no avail and have ordered new struts in the hope that will fix it.

MY gauge cluster rattles a bit when its cold out, I brought it in to the dealer for the problem and of course the day they look at it was above freezing and they said they cannot reproduce the rattle, but its there, when i hold the cluster in right between the two gauges i does not rattle im probably going to rip it off soon and try to fix it my self. its stupid to go to the dealer and not have my car for two days over this nonsense.

Only thing with mine is the rearview mirror. Buzzes like a champ on any bumps, or rough road. Not sure what to do about it though.

Yep... I got a few. Whilst traveling over rough roads I'll hit a big bump and hear/feel my mid-pipe rattle a bit as there just aren't too many hangers down there.

Also have some door trim vibration when the radio is turned up loud.

You've undoubtedly read about the starter engagement issues, skip-shift, tight shifting, etc... all-in-all this thing feels bullet proof. I've had my 2011 since June but my brother has had an 2006 GT since new and it feels just as solid.

No rattles here (only 3000 miles). I expected some rattles in the cold... but still rattle free in temps as low as 9 degrees F.
