I tried that fix and it didn’t help at all. Mine mostly happens on bumpy roads and not on the highway as well.

Hmmm could be the same. I’m waiting for warmer temps to pull the panels off around the seat belt (tons of snow lately here).

much the same here - except haven’t heard it when closing doors. The right bumpy road will cause it to happen often but not always. Used my phone recording app to record it while driving when having my phone in different areas and seemed to be loudest from front driver area. Could barely hear...

that could be where mine is also - since I took the door apart and still had the noise even after doing the window track stuff. Not sure what’s even behind the seat belt panel that could make such a noise

was there with window down or up. Even if window was down and I was holding onto the glass the rattle was there. I even removed my back seats completely the other day to test.

Been trying to pinpoint the source of a rattle recently and found this post… went out to check mine and exact same creaking. My ‘25 Tacoma was much better made than my ‘25 4R. I already fixed 2 rattles… still 1 to go and now this creaking as well!

Well unfortunately that didn't fix my rattle. Took the door apart today and did all that and the rattle remains over certain bumps.

Thanks! Tempted to try this myself this weekend… but since it’s around -15° around here I’ll likely end up breaking some plastic. I have an appt with the dealer booked for next week so will see what they come back with first.

I don't think it's the same source since I couldn't get any music to cause it (and I listen to a lot of BPM with heavy bass)

yes - I am HOPING that’s the issue and fix - but wanted to see if anyone had any audio of the rattle before tearing my door panel apart (it’ll be quicker for me to do it than visit the dealer) Or perhaps was there a way you could reproduce that noise at will without driving that I can test?

No rattles from that song at least!

I get this rattle with the stereo off even - mainly if driving over something like a manhole cover. It doesn’t happen on all bumps though… maybe 5-10% of them (which is my worst nightmare for having Toyota try to reproduce it and say they can’t find any issue)

Does anyone happen to have an audio clip (or video) demonstrating the rattle noise? Have developed one myself but having a hell of a time trying to pinpoint the area so want to see if similar sound

I was at the dealer today and looked - all the oem wheel flares are the same size on all trims below TRD Pro/TH.

So the Limited also has a thinner OEM flare than the TRD OR models?
