What are the most common locations for abnormal noises in the Sylphy?

The most common locations for abnormal noises in the Sylphy are as follows: 1. Near the center console. 2. Door gap noises. 3. Chassis noises. The causes of these noises in the Sylphy are as follows: (1) Causes of noises near the center console: plastic collisions, cold contraction noises, situations like turning on the heater in cold weather. (2) Causes of door gap noises: slight deformations between the door edge plastics, the door itself, and the door frame during sudden acceleration or deceleration. (3) Causes of chassis noises: pebbles bouncing from the ground, due to bumpy road conditions, slight deformations in the plastic surrounds on the left and right sides, and the plastics beneath the sides of the car.
I've been driving a Sylphy for three years, and the most common sources of rattling noises are, first, the squeaking caused by aging and wear of the door seals, especially noticeable on bumpy roads or during weather changes. Second, loose suspension components produce a clunking sound when going over speed bumps, often due to wear in the front shock absorbers or stabilizer bar connections. Loose clips on interior plastic panels are another major issue, causing clicking noises during sharp turns or on uneven roads. A worn trunk latch can result in a clanging sound while driving. Additionally, a loose belt tensioner in the engine bay might produce a tapping noise—not a serious issue but annoying. These problems mainly stem from daily wear or improper assembly. Regular checks for dry or cracked seals, tightening loose parts, or applying lubricant can help reduce the noise.
The abnormal noises in the Sylphy are mostly concentrated in the interior and chassis: aging plastic fasteners on door panels or window edges may produce squeaking sounds; worn suspension systems, especially shock absorbers, can cause a thumping noise when going over bumps; loose seat brackets may lead to rattling; a loosely closed trunk lid can result in a clicking sound; and loose belt components around the engine causing a tapping noise are also common. These noises are generally related to usage time and road conditions, such as suspension components being prone to issues under high load. If you want to handle it yourself, you can check if the door seals need replacement or tighten the seat screws, but avoid forcibly removing interior panels to prevent damage to the fasteners.
