vibrations/rattle around 3-4k

[BlackTeggy]

At cruising speeds and not driving like a bat outta hell, I'm getting vibrations/rattle in sport mode. Tried in comfort as well and it is still there. Anyone else have the same experience?

Can you narrow down its origin any?

sounds like it's coming from the back side of the engine area, completely stock teg

I assume you hear it. Do you feel it as well?
I have had an intermittent steering wheel vibration but nothing like you described.

it’s purely audible, nothing I feel at all. Naturally Cant hear it with the radio but now I know it’s there so it’s driving me nuts lol

With this being a new car to us all its hard to suggest any causes. Maybe some of the Civic owners with a 1.5T might be worth asking.
Of course as soon as u take it into the dealership it will magically disappear.

Similarly, in my experience a few minutes in the waiting room with the dog at the vet/kid at the pediatrician is also effective at fixing whatever was wrong with the dog/kid when you walked in.

I have this same issue. 3-4K RPM. Consistently at 3.5k. Seems to happen more when engine is getting warm (doesn’t happen on cold start, doesn’t happen once completely warm). At first I thought it could be the dash rattle others have thought but looking at the engine bay and seeing the exhaust run I think it may be related to that. We’re y’all ever able to figure it out?

I am a Honda tech, and my project this week has been a 2023 integra with the rattle at 3500-4K. This vehicle is a manual transmission, and it only happens at that RPM range. I just found it yesterday. We found it to be the heater core rattle against the heater box. Also found that the heater box’s mount was broken. The whole dash is out, and we are waiting on parts now. You can see if this is your issue by revving the car to the point it makes the rattle and have someone wiggle the coolant lines that come out at the heater core.

That sounds like the same noise for sure. My noise isn’t consistent though. But I’ll look into this and try to get mine on video too.

Wow. Good job. As someone with only the most meager mechanical ability, I see cars torn apart like this and can't even imagine having the knowledge and skill to get to that point or get it all back together again.

The harder part is doing it inside the time that Honda/Acura pays you… which is only 5.5 hours. Lol

Just want to update…i put the dash back in the 23 integra this afternoon with a new heater box, and heater core pipe retainer and the noise was gone. Hopefully this helps someone in the future.

Where is the heater pipe retainer?

number 9 is the heater core pipe retainer. they call it a stay. The top tab was broken off allowing the pipes to touch together.
