    I am new to this forum :)

    I just bought 4Runner Limited 2023 and after driving around 700 miles I have this anointing noice in the cabin on the passenger side. Does anyone know what it can be? https://vimeo.com/896056909

    Thank you in advance!!

    There is a chance I’m getting a similar rattle in my ‘23 with around 700 miles on it too. Just heard it last night driving home. Only happens when I hit a bump or uneven pavement.

    But don’t add me to the list yet, it may be my dashcam or something in the glove box. Haven’t tracked it down yet but sounded like it’s coming from the dash towards the passenger side.

    Will try to isolate it when I have more time later this week.

    It’s probably the passenger seat rattle, which is prevalent for 4Runners. Search on YouTube

    I'm not for sure if the limited has the same wiring setup as the ORP, I had a similar sound/noise it seemed like it was the dash speaker area. After several checks I found there is a wire/harness that runs along the passenger side, and turns and comes up at the passenger front wheel well. It mounts to the wheel liner with a push type xmas tree and the connector was causing the noise to resonate up into the cab. If you unclip the rubber flap from the pass front wheel liner it is near the firewall if it has the same layout. I added some felt tape and so far so good. Mine is a 23 orp.
    Not my image but the location of the cable up into the engine area

    The side effect with mitigating all of these nuanced noises - makes the needle bearing hum and vibration even more obvious.., lol can’t win

    Mine had a similar noise on the passenger side. Could never tell exactly where it was coming from, but seemed more noticeable when it was cold and when I was above 65-70 mph. Did not hear it at lower speeds. I did the same fix as shown in another thread (see link). I used the extreme outdoor fuzzy side of the velcro (Home Depot). Don't know if it is fixed because I have not had a chance to test it out yet. I will say it definitely tightened up the fit of the plastic cover at the bottom of the A pillar.
