Hi everyone, i have been dealing with this sound from my 2010 impala LS for at least 2 years now and i finally cant take it anymore. The problem: a loud rattle in center of dash behind radio.
Here are some "knowns": -only sounds when a/c is on, -only sounds when car is warm, -mostly on hot days (i cant remember if this occurs during the winter), -when driving the sounds is less noticable, - Does not sound outside of car. I tried to take a good video to help explain... https://youtu.be/gBxmBDPIG7Y

Please for the sake of my sanity tell me someone has heard this before, i cant seem to find a related topic anywhere.
Thanks in advance

    Sounds like a fan vibration of some sort. Might be helpful if you could access the space behind there through the glove box or the console side panels, to help locate the source.

    Thanks for the reply. I was hoping that someone has already went through this but i suppose its time to start taking apart the dash. I will take a shot at it over the weekend and see what i come up with. Ill make sure to update this post if i happen to solve the problem.
