Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suspected cause
Not sure if your seat issue is the same, but seems like most things will vibrate or rattle unless they are damped by contact with something solid.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

hey guys. a new rattle!!! cant find any posts on this one.. i have been over and over the inside of the car with a fine tooth comb and cant find anything. its a rattlle that sounds like its under the passenger seat... i checked windows, oil cap, and seat belts but its just not them. if i drive over a bump or drive slow and turn the wheels side to side hear it. im sure its from under the passenger seat but cant pinpoint it. looked under the seat but nothing unusual.. any ideas?

POST 2Original post

There is a huge cavern under the passenger seet that can gobble up some pretty big stuff. I heard a rattle from my passenger seat, I reached under there and pulled out 3, yes 3 polland spring water bottles and a 25 foot tape measure. Anything that's left on the floor will end up there when you press the go pedal. Raise your seat and see if you find any surprises under there.

POST 3Original post

thanks but nothing there. it sounds more like its coming from inside the seat or something

POST 4Original post

Might want to take a look at this thread: http://www.planet-9.com/cayman-boxster-complaints/28523-passenger-seat-vibration.html The unoccupied passenger seat on all of the seven Porsches (and many other cars, too) I've owned over the years, vibrates and make a little noise when you hit some big bumps or potholes. brad

POST 5Original post

I had my car serviced and they had to remove the panel behind the seats to access the engine compartment. I had a rattle when all was said and done. One of the screws fell below the seat and the first searches revealed nothing, but I pulled into the drive way one day and noticed the noise and hit the gas to make it move back, and then brakes just hard enough to make it move but not move into the vent. Reached under and there it was. A mounting screw for the panel.... Imagine that.

POST 6Original post

And the uninformed thought that all Porsches came with one of Charlie's Angels to address the empty seat issue. :hilarious:

POST 7Original post

On my 05 Boxster S the passenger seat back rattles like crazy unless I recline it against the firewall. Not sure if your seat issue is the same, but seems like most things will vibrate or rattle unless they are damped by contact with something solid.

POST 8Original post

Is the rattle coming from one of the body panels underneath the car? Did you hit something while driving that might have done that? Just coming up with other ideas.

POST 9Original post

You have probably checked this, but just in case, I had a loud seat rattle that was driving me nuts. It only happened when I didn't have a passenger in the seat and it would start and stop erratically. The metal of the seat belt clip was rattling against the plastic handle of the seat back release. The damned things line up perfectly.
