To many rattles to count!! (Help)

My 01 TT with aftermarket exhaust, 19" rims and PSS9's has developed so many internal rattles that I can't even tell where some are coming from, I can't always drive with the radio loud, so the time has come to try to fix some of these, has anyone here experienced similar issues?

Did have some rattles in both doors that was the speaker housings or something in the door panel. Dealer fixed it by putting in some sound mat and tightening screws inside door panel.

What exhuast do you have? My exhaust produces small rattles at lower RPMs. It has also caused my right front dash speaker to rattle at times. You get used to it.

Do you have carbon. Seemed like my 03 with carbon dash pieces creaked or rattled a little more than my others. I had dealer drive and fix for me though.

I hope the guy's at RPM can help or should I use a stereo guy or maybe even a body shop, I wonder which would do the best job in finding the rattles, fixing them and even add some noise reduction stuff.

Ron, your car has been apart for interior bits and etc. yes? I'm sure adding all those bits aftermarket even if they are OEM will lead to many more rattles & squeaks than normal. If you want to go after I'd use a good body shop that is used to pulling out interior items and start with the internal cabin stuff. That and like the others said, the NYC roads and 19's don't help and you will be fighting a losing battle.

I had to take mine in for a rattle last week. It turned out to be the passenger rear view mirror. I screw had come loose. I also had the passenger speaker tightened. Seems to be nice and tight again.
