Could you post a picture of the service record description? I have this too and just figured it was an unfortunate characteristic of the system. Usually only hear it with poorly recorded podcasts that require a lot of volume so not that big of an issue but if fixable that would be a bonus.

I've got the window trim issue and plan on doing the silicone fix. I've also got the speaker issue so it's good to see others with it and a potential fix by the dealer (I too hear it on only some podcasts and thought it was just the recording).

The other noise I've got seems to be an occasional rattle from the driver side grab handle area. I first thought it was just bouncing up and down over bumps but it actually seems to be internal between the handle and the roof side of the headliner.

My window trim / door seal is pretty bad.. Entire door sqeaks as the car moves. All temperatures. I put tape on the metal corner piece per the YouTube video - that helped that sound. However, the door seems like it moves around all the time like it isn't tight. Only other rattle is the visor behind the rear view mirror.

Rear seat belt buckles shimmy up the belt and rattle. Easy fix is to put Velcro on them and the plastic seat frame and they stick, no more rattle and easy to pull off and stick on.

The actual invoice explanation differs slightly from what I was told verbally. I was told it was bolts that hold the speaker, not the trim. Either way it seems to have fixed the problem. Service record section attached.

I was hearing a rattle that was behind me and during my first scheduled service (the 21,000 mile service) they fixed it. Attached below as a photo is a description of the repair. Rattle now gone.

I have a faint "click" from that brake pedal that happens intermittently on my P400. Anyone else have this?
