The 370z is bound to rattle, it's not a high end luxury sports car-

If you have a used car, then maybe the original owner put new speakers in and dropped a screw or something similar.. If its really bothering you, take off the door panel, get some sound deadener and fix it yourself on the weekend

My back hatch rattles from those plastic panels on the trunk hatch. I even have some sound deadening material..

Get a loud sound system or a louder exhaust

350 rattled quite a bit...370, not so much. I get little buzzes here and there from the exhaust but it doesn't last long.

I had a rattle in driver's door of my '09. Dealer adjusted something on the window regulator and got rid of it.

I guess now that I am "settled" into my car, I'm starting to hear all kind of noises it makes, as if every parts of the car comes alive and having a conversation with one another, that and of course the road noise. Thank God for a louder exhaust, i can drown out most of the sounds when it becomes too bothersome.

I had a rattle as well, and a way I made it go away was to "tap" the driver window down like a millimeter. This caused the window to push back against the door panel and stopped the rattles. See if that helps. I'm assuming if I could take the door panel off and tighten some bolts and put some rubber standoff washers or something, I could also fix it that way.

my driver side door buzzes when I play loud music with tons of base. Its annoying, and it doesnt always do it. So I just ignore it.

Mine does too. Rattles are annoying but it's nice to know everyone has them. Makes me feel better.
