Possibly a sway bar link, check that.

2nd might be caused by a leaf or something in the blower motor of the ac.

3rd I sometimes get a rattle as well, turn the radio up louder lol.

check your frontend, could have a loose wheelbearing and it could be causing the brake rotor to rub on the dust shield.
2nd take your cowel off so you can get access to your cabin filter, remove it and you can see down to the blower fan, check for leafs ect. in there and spray the center(theres a bearing in there) with some lube that dosent smell.
3rd do you have a sunroof? check the trim around the sunroof/headliner and make sure its still attatched all the way around. i dunno bout the dash rattle tho, check the glove box for anything that could make the noise.

Ah, welcome to this car.

The sunroof noise is probably the most prevalent. I have a slight squeak under the steering wheel behind the knee panel.
