Unhappy dashboard noise

Hi eveyone
I notice there is some noise from the dashboard area
especially when I drive in city, highway is ok cuz the surface is more smooth.
the noise sounds like squeezing and loosen.
any one has idea for this issue?
Maybe something is loose?

I had a noise that I swore was coming from the Sports Chrono. After devoting several hours to the hunt, I finally gave up and turned it over to my indy. After a few different test drives he finally narrowed it down to the overhead interior light where he found a very small piece of plastic that had apparently chipped off and was vibrating around. I never would have thought that tiny piece could cause such a racket. Great to have that noise disappear, plus he didn't charge me which was an added bonus.

My nosie sounds exactly like the sound when I use my finger to push the dash or any plastic parts inside the car.

Drive around with a non-seatbelted passenger who can move around and try to pinpoint the origin. Large/rough parking lot preferred.

A stethoscope is very helpful here. When you identify the issue, which is most likely a plastic on plastic noise, felt tape is your friend in fixing it. Porsche will actually sell you a roll of what they use for these scenarios, which is simply black felt tape...
