Rattling sound

[J. Paolo]

I just got my new 08 Accord coupe EX-L last week and noticed that theres a soft rattling sound coming from the passenger side. I couldn't locate its origin. Anybody else have this problem?
Secondly, for those who have had their Gen8s for a little longer than me, how has the 270W stereo performed? Any rattling or vibrations?

the stereo kinda blows. its weak, and the sub vibrates. theres a simple fix for it, but why should i have to go out of my way?

Can you describe the rattle or possible location? (inside, outside, front, back, etc.)

Stereo performance is subjective. I think the stereo works well and mine doesn't rattle. My normal listening volume is 10, and up to 25 with the windows open at highway speeds.

I've been happy with the stereo too. 270W 6 speakers and sub is good enough for me. I only hear some vibration when im listening to music with deep bass at around volume level 22+ which is normal.
The rattling sounds like its coming from the front passenger side. its faint but noticeable at least to me and its getting annoying. I might bring it to the dealer if it doesn't stop.

That was going to be my guess.

sometimes my passenger seat belt rattles against stuff, try clipping it in next time your driving solo

I was having that same knocking and rattle sound, especially when it was cold and the car was driving at 10~30 Km on some old pavement (Doesn't has to be pothole or uneven, either) I took it in the dealership and driven the car with the service adviser about 3 times to locate the problem. It took them 2 times to fixed the problem---->It was the loose glove box and they told me that there were many cases that Honda needed to order and change the glove box in customer Mk. 7 & Mk. 8 Accords. they finally admitted the problem and fixed it, now my ride is so smooth and quiet, at least for now.

Is it the way the globebox is hooked up inside or something? cuz it doesnt seem loose. Its so hard to find where its coming from but I guess i'll bring it in to the dealer and tell them it might be the glovebox.
