Exclamation Rattling sound from passenger door !!

hi guys..

I have been noticing the passenger door makes low sound buzzing.. it comes and goes from time to time, the buzz is even when I drive steady in a clean road..

I tried during driving I pull it from it's handler toward me and the buzzing goes away, but as soon as I take my hand off of it, it comes back..

as I already said the noise is on and off, not always..

any suggestions..

My sedan has a similar rattle from my front passenger door. Anyone have any ideas?

Are these tinny higher pitched rattles like a small piece of trim or are these deep/low rattles like a lose bracket or bolt? If the former, check the plates behind each door handle. These are loosely snapped in and can rattle in lots of cars (I had the problem in my previous car). When the rattles start simply push on the plate to see if it goes away. If so, the fix is to use some what looks like caulking from a standard 10" tube that you'd get at the hardware store (or at least that's what the Honda dealer used to fix my Accord). I haven't had the issue in the G37 yet but pressing on the plates just now they are a bit loose...

This might sound strange, but - for the tin thing- try adjusting the passenger seat belt receptacle. I swore my tinny noise was coming from the door and then I read that on here and sure enough that was the problem. If I push it until horizontal between the seat and the console then the little spring stops shaking and making the noise.

Guys, the sound is more of buzzing sound rather than rattle

the sound is more of buzzing sound exactly like a mosquito flies over ur ears or so
and I have tried hard to discover the source of sound by pushing and pulling things but nothing

I need to try this ASAP. My car has been creek, buzz, noise free EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE THING. It's been driving me nuts.

If it works, I give you ALL THE INTERNETS!

Try having someone push down on the different speaker grills once it comes on.
I don't know about G's, but it does this in my brothers '10 Accord REALLY BAD.
Couldn't figure it out for ages, but then I realized that it was the tweeter speaker grill.

it's not from the speaker grills I tried so hard to determine the source of the buzzing.. but as black betty posted a thread in the link above, it matches perfectly the same complaints as I have..
