Default cts-v dash squeak

I have a 2005 CTS-V with about 22,000 miles. The dash squeaks quite a bit over bumps and at speeds of around 70-80 MPH there is a rattle in the dash as well. Has anyone encountered this and have you found the source?? My dealership ain't helpful!

My 05 has many noises, just a fact with these cars. The interior quality is not that great to begin with and the performance suspension and hard driving these cars get just amplifies the problem.

Get a loud exhaust and turn up the radio.

where abouts is it making the noise? center? if so check your a/c vents...theres a little clip that holds all the little fins in place that gets loose and rattles...if thats it, theres a pretty easy fix.

I don't have any squeaks either..just vibration from the exhaust...I just heard about the A/C vent rattle from the other forum.

LOOk, think of it this way. Everyone is having these stupid issue's left and right. Is it really that big of a deal. I bought that car to look pimp and rip ***. I knew a 400hp ls6 CADDIE woulnd't be PERFECT. Caddies always have problems, its a proven fact. Sometimes you just have to deal with it. My V made this worst noises everyday and I would laugh and just floor it...
