It's in their nature. I've accepted it. I've had other GM vehicles and family members have to, they all do it.

Mine kinda does the same thing. Squeaks and creaks. Ive cured a few, the one that was coming from under the dash was fun to track down.

I think my antenna makes a noise when it is really windy on the highway. That annoys me quite a bit.

The only real annoying rattles I had were from the inside of the doors. The bolts that hold the window carriages were loose. I tightened them about 2 years and haven't had a rattle problem since. The only other "noise" annoyance I have now is a whistle at highway speeds from the passenger door. I think it's from the door seal.
