Anyone else noticing a rattle in the dash when traveling on bumpy roads?

It sounds like it is coming from the large screen, but could be anywhere in the dash.

I haven't, and I would've noticed because during my test drive with my future car I drove with no radio on to see if it had the screen buzz that others have mentioned. Short answer on the buzz: no when seated normally, yes when leaning my head nearly up against the steering wheel to listen.

A creaking noise has emerged on mine near the driver window now. Over bumps I can hear the window rattle against the frame, if I put my finger on the window it quiets down. Nothing on the dash... yet. Other than the buzzing screen.

Think I am hearing something around the left side of the cock pit dash area

I have no rattles at all. That’s one thing that has impressed me very much with this car.

Wonder if your dealer can take a look?

My center screen was making a noise the other day like it was moving around slightly. Like a small squeaking noise as it rubbed. It only did it that one day and hasn't since. I could hold on the screen and it would stop. Might have been just a colder morning that causes something to shift slightly.

Holding my screen doesn't help.
And it is not a squeaking, but a rattle.

Glad you found it.
I have not heard any leaks or rattles at all, myself.

Knock on wood no rattles or creaks yet.

I found the cause of the rattle. Turns out it was my garage door opener clipped to the visor.
Once paid a service call to my HVAC guy to look at a furnace motor going bad only to have him determine it was the humidifier supply pipe sagging a bit with time and touching a strap supporting the expansion tank on the hot water heater. When the furnace cycled on it vibrated the humidifier for a bit, which sent the buzz throughout the pipes in the house house.
