It sounds like it’s coming from the drivers side dash area but I’m not 100% on this. I don’t believe it can be heard from the outside. It only happens when driving and staying still and rocking the car doesn’t make the noise. The vibration when driving must be causing this squeaky rattling..
Has anyone had any experience of this or potentially know what it could be? I have a couple of videos which you can hear the noise but I don’t think I can add them in here.
Thanks

Have you got anything hanging on your key whilst it is in the ignition? That was what causes our mystery noise on occasions. Now I just take the key out once the car has started and no noise.
The centre console where all the buttons are often develops a bit of a squeak. A little tug here and there and it disappears.
The frame around the dash console sometimes benefits from a tap/tweak.
If you can locate your noise then you can try a bit of lub between the contact surfaces. ( a Q tip with some silicon lubricant works wonders for plastic squeaks). At worst case, remove and put some foam packing to stop the rubbing.
