yes. took it to the dealer and they said they put some insulation in the area. it is a little better, but still get it once in a while. I also have a slight rattle somewhere in the passenger side door. and the infamous rear deck rattle. And i thought my Audi was bad with rattles.

The most problematic area for me was the gauge cluster around the buttons on the top-left side. I know a lot of people had issues with it peeling up. Mine did not do that, but it rattled like crazy. My dealer replaced the entire gauge cluster which would have been great if they wouldn't have completely jacked up my steering wheel alignment.

The service manager wanted me to come back after I complained on my survey, but I was pretty tired of dealing with them at that point. Overall, I am pretty disappointed in the service department at this dealership, and would rather not deal with them if I don't have to. They pretty much mess something up on my car any time they touch it (dented front bumper, scratched tint, scratched bumper, A/C sensor hose disconnected, dinged kickplate, over-charging, etc.). I really like my sales guy there, but there service and parts are way too expensive for the crappy service they provide.
I see you have an Audi.... I am seriously thinking about getting rid of my car and going with an S4.... I have a Q7 now, and I may be ready to move on from the Infiniti (this is my second G, and fourth Nissan product in a row).

Yeah, you would think it would be easy, but not for them for whatever reason. They tried a couple of times, and it just ended up being off in the other direction (not as bad, but still off by a couple of degrees). I was headed out of the country and did not want to leave my car there for 2 weeks, so I just gave up. I ended up just taking it to my alignment shop when I got back and had them resolve the issue during my alignment. I needed an alignment anyway, so it wasn't that big of a deal.

Hm seems to be a common issue.. And yes i get the rear deck and driver door rattles too but they arent as bad as the dashboard. The bad thing is it happens once in a while so i cant even show it to my useless dealer.. Not that they would even succesfully fix it.

Either you got the only one, or you need to have your hearing checked. 
I have a few noises from time to time, but it's not anywhere NEAR as bad as my IS350 was. I was forever chasing squeaks and rattles in that car from beginning to end of ownership (4 years).

I will say mine has more noticeable creaks & rattles in the cold months although nothing that makes me regret my purchase. During the hot summer, I rarely hear any type of rattles or creaks, probably because the material softens with the heat. As an earlier poster said, my biggest rattle was in the passenger door. But now that it's hot, it's gone away.
