2022+ Toyota Tundra - How to Fix Door Rattle from Speaker.

[@JustinHarvey-vk2fp]

These have to be the most rattling trucks ever built. My 22 has rattled since day one. Door panels, windows, bed, center consol, and the windshield clip. Definitely a love/hate relationship.

[@residualboulders]

yeah not as solid as my 2016. I think they need some fine tuning in the cab.

[@ElJefe360]

Yeah, mine is rattling on the ceiling right hand side Bluetooth mic.

[@bjc2430]

I appreciate this video, but wanted to share my own experience with the same problem. I took it to the dealer twice, and of course they couldn’t get it to replicate. I actually figured out that the rattle was coming from that piece of black plastic you removed from behind the door handle. I took the part off and I didn’t hear the rattle anymore. I got on Amazon and bought some felt with adhesive tape on one side, put the felt on the back of the plastic piece, reinstalled, and I don’t hear it anymore.

[@bjc2430]

If you tap on that piece with your fingers, it actually has some give to it. It’s not a tight fit, which is why it made noise with any bass or road vibrations. Why they designed it like that is beyond me.

[@residualboulders]

@@bjc2430 can you tell me at which point in the video it shows the piece you are talking about (time stamp)? I wouldn't mind adding that as well to see if it improves any from what I have.

[@bjc2430]

@@residualbouldersThe part you remove at the 1:00 mark.

[@bjc2430]

Just to clarify, the one on the passenger side seems to be a lot tighter, so I didn’t mess with it.

[@residualboulders]

@@bjc2430thanks, I’ll have to check that out.

[@ANT.LEEEEE]

my 22 pro has the same rattle on the driver's side, glad i found your vid!

[@residualboulders]

I hope it helps you fix yours too!

[@mikecarmean1676]

Great video! Very thorough, appreciate the attention to detail

[@a-teamIL]

Awesome! You da man for spreading the knowledge -- appreciate ya.

[@richarda6066]

I took my new 2024 Toyota Tundra to the dealership for the same rattle noise. The technician said he didn’t hear anything. I played my juke box hero a few times and the base starts moving something inside the door that even after you lower the music now every bump starts rattling. We were able to duplicate the rattle. Technician and I drove a trd pro and did the exact same thing or even worst rattle than my truck. He said it’s normal characteristics of the truck and there for there isn’t nothing they can do. I will have to fix this myself know. Hope I don’t break something now. Stupid Toyota. 70 thousand dollars. Anyways thanks for your video.

[@residualboulders]

I figured that would be the case for me and I’m two hours from a dealer so I didn’t bother trying. It’s unfortunate Toyotas quality is not what it used to be.

[@TEW1157]

Thank you HOWEVER I did break 2 nubs off the first piece of plastic removed. And after al this, it still rattles. The rattling comes from the door trim around the upper part of the door + the mirror. Awesome vide though because without it, I wouldn't have even known how to remove the door panel at all and would have broken more. Love the truck but jeez it rattles all over. So frustrating.

[@residualboulders]

Shoot, sorry to hear it. Mine is not rattling in that area. But yeah not the same kind of quality we’ve been used to with Toyota.

[@adamliron2730]

Nice video. Just got a 23 platinum and will keep this in mind if the door rattling becomes too much. Otherwise I just tune the bass down when needed. Do you have any noise or creaking in the headliner induced by the road? I notice intermittent creaking in the headliner on the driver side depending on the road, right above my head on the side of the pano roof. Other than these things I love this truck :)

[@residualboulders]

Sorry, I haven’t noticed any headliner issues. I also probably wouldn’t have fixed the door rattle if it weren’t for my 15 year old’s taste in music, ha ha. Only presented itself with deep base. But oh well, fixed now.

[@ElJefe360]

I do have that but on the front passenger side where the Bluetooth mic is. Did you fixed it? If so, how... Thanks Man

[@oleksandrchumak4758]

Don't want to be negative, great video and solution (for those who are hands-on & not afraid to take things apart). But having to do all this DIY for a new 70K+ USD truck...I don't know... is Toyota USA listening?

[@residualboulders]

Oh we all agree with you, and I hope anyone with issues like these report them to Toyota as I have so they can improve. I’m just solving the problem myself because I’m 2hrs from a dealer and I assumed I’d get the “can’t replicate the issue” or “no current fix” response instead of a solution.

[@beagleracing]

Very cool! Winter project for me!

[@residualboulders]

good luck! enjoy your new truck.

[@AmerSheikh]

Excellent video! I will be picking up my 2023 next week and hopefully they have fixed the rattling or I will follow these steps.

[@residualboulders]

Thanks! Maybe yours will come without the rattle and you won’t need this.

[@AmerSheikh]

@@residualboulders Hopefully! I will keep you posted here if it doesn't have the rattle.

[@residualboulders]

@@AmerSheikh enjoy the new truck. I love mine so far.

[@AmerSheikh]

@@residualboulders Thanks!

[@AmerSheikh]

@@residualboulders thanks! Can’t wait to get it.

[@luksocat]

Is this a problem that should be covered by Toyota? Have a hybrid platinum coming in and wondering if I'm going to have to deal with this.

[@residualboulders]

It should be, yes. And I have read on forums that some people have been able to get their dealers to fix it doing something similar to what I did. My dealer is over 2 hrs away so I figured I'd just fix it myself rather than take the 4 hr round trip and wait on them all day to take a look at it and probably just tell me thats the way it came from the factory so it is what it is.

[@新弟子-h1s]

Do you have videos you confirmed the rattle in the door trim? How did you find the rattle? Low frequency music source or sine wave? Which point is most effective to reduce the rattle to add the foam material?

[@residualboulders]

The most effective points to add the foam for me were the locations identified in the video. I do not have a follow up video to this one. Most of my rattling was coming from deep bass tones.

[@Mach.1]

Great video, just got my 2024 and unfortunately the driver door definitely rattles. I turned the bass down but doesn’t totally eliminate the problem. I’ll try to take it to dealer first and if they “can’t recreate or fix the issue” I’ll try your fix. Did you do this fix to the other doors? Thanks

[@residualboulders]

Just to my front two doors. I haven’t noticed rattling in the back. However part Of the problem was the hard carpet inserts in the door handle. I removed those in all doors.

[@samd5260]

Can you please update me if they were able or willing to fix it? This rattling is driving me crazy! I have the capstone and everything rattles especially the center console

[@residualboulders]

@@samd5260 I never tried to get the dealer to fix it because I live 2 hrs from the dealer and I figured I'd get the runaround. Maybe @Mach.1 has some input.

[@TXTundra-ex8bw]

you're awesome!

[@Siblue]

Can you share a link to the foam tape? Thanks

[@residualboulders]

you bet. Should have put that in the description. There might be better options out there, this is just what I had already for a landcruiser restoration I'm working on. www.amazon.com/dp/B07VJYY5GM?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

[@carloscrespo6977]

Have you had any problems with the infotainment radio power knob ? It has been replaced three times and keeps breaking in the same spot…Toyota doesn’t want to admit the issue.

[@residualboulders]

I haven’t had any issue with mine.

[@josephkraft5640]

Yeah the door rattle happened to my Platinum 22 tundra amount other things that drove me crazy. I turned down the bass on JBL system and that helped. Went back to Silverado after about 11 months of ownership of the current gen Tundra. Too many issues and did not meet my expectations of quality.

[@residualboulders]

Yeah, Toyota has a few things to figure out.

[@sufficetosay]

I guess you just expect the silverado to have rattles so no letdown.

[@bjc2430]

Was just wondering if you experienced any of the rattling with the audio off? I am.

[@residualboulders]

Not in the door, no. My center console rattles sometimes. Wish there was a fix for that.

[@viperviper5]

Damn you got to do all of that for a 80,000 truck. That sucks

[@residualboulders]

Yeah, as you can see it was super hard 🤓

[@christopherb4744]

You should get some of this product Noico Red 150 mil (4mm) 36 sqft (3.4 sqm) Noico Liner Car Heat and Sound Insulation,Heat and Cool Liner, Self-Adhesive Closed Cell Foam (PE Foam)

[@residualboulders]

To line the inside of the door?

[@whales302]

Got rid of my Tacoma as I got tired of everything plastic in the interior. Looks like this new Tundra is no different. I hear the console is a joke and everything rattles with that too.

[@marcus3jankowski]

I have this issue on the passenger side

[@residualboulders]

mine was very faint on the passenger side but still there, so I did both doors.

[@ericlee8349]

Do you know what size the speakers are. Are 6.5 s

[@residualboulders]

Sorry, I don't know. I didn't take the time to measure when the panels were off. I think they are larger than that - the pro has the JBL audio. Seems like those speakers were closer to 8"?

[@jamesvandyke5874]

Miss my 1st Gen

[@residualboulders]

Yeah, 1st and second were great trucks. Loved driving this one but I have to admit the quality is not as good as the older tundras. I ended up selling this and getting a Superduty for truck duties.

[@jimcricket5412]

The rattle in the dash is next?

[@residualboulders]

Shoot, I don't have a rattle in my dash. I wonder what the cause of that might be. Where does yours sound like it's coming from?

[@jimcricket5412]

@@residualboulders I wanted to buy a new Tundra, been waiting 2 decades and all I hear about are rattles from the stereo. I can wait a couple more years or buy a Ridgeline.

[@residualboulders]

@@jimcricket5412 I've owned several Tundras, this is the only one I've had a door rattle. I think Toyota will sort out some of these minor issues. Overall I love the truck. My 2020 Ford Raptor also had little quirks, they all do these days.

[@Eggward1011]

Was it just rattling on your driver side door card, or was it doing it on the other door cards as well?

[@residualboulders]

mine was worse on the drivers side for sure, but you could hear it on the passenger as well. I just did the same fix to both sides.

[@bluemixal]

What color did you order?

[@residualboulders]

It’s a lunar rock. Unfortunately they don’t offer it ln the trd pro anymore.

[@ArmonMitchell]

My GS has this rattle

[@ImOnlyaMAN88]

Should have been done that way from Toyota, they know it bc the Lexus vehicles has no rattles.

[@residualboulders]

Yeah my 200 series Landcruiser has no rattles so I’m sure the Lexus version of the landcruiser doesn’t either. Lexus doesn’t make a truck, if they did I suspect it wouldn’t have rattles from the factory. I’m sure Toyota will figure it out. First model year issues

[@mrnova70vp]

70k for a truck just to have to take it apart to add tape…..

[@residualboulders]

yeah it's a bummer it had the little rattle. It wasn't hard to fix either so they could have figured that one out in the factory. But, I can't say my 2020 Raptor I used to have was perfect either.

[@mikeylikesit7318]

By correcting this yourselves you're telling Toyota it's ok to sell us over priced trucks built cheaply.

[@residualboulders]

You definitely have a point there. Unfortunately I am 2 hrs from the nearest dealer so I decided to fix it myself rather than waste several days taking it over there for them to troubleshoot.

[@Jay-bw3fl]

Absolutely true but no one will treat your vehicle with as much care as you do. I have had dealers fk my trucks up bad in the past. Then it’s just a nightmare fight with the dealer and you gotta become a Karen to get shit made right. The workforce In America is complete trash.

[@marshmower]

It's all Legos and IF there's a rattle detected by customer or dealer, a quality alert will instruct the assembler to use some anti rattle tape. However no extra time is allotted for this. Only if it's done ahead of time.

[@gblackmon84]

You take this in for repairs and they'll break something else.

[@xspower21]

You nailed it! It's why they got away with selling a scam of a truck to the most gullible of idiots, Toyota now knows they can design trash and con people by covering it up with marketing. Sad, ever subsequent version of this truck will just get even worse now..Toyota should be embarrassed

[@RD-wh8io]

Just turn up the radio until you don't hear the rattles.

[@residualboulders]

That’s exactly the problem, when you turn up the radio, the door rattles

[@RD-wh8io]

Turn it down then until it doesn't rattle

[@PHILLIPS8822]

Makes no damn sense that a new $90,000 dollar truck has rattles

[@residualboulders]

I didn't pay near that much, but I agree it shouldn't have rattles. I had a 2020 Raptor before. - It also had some quality quirks.

[@tristanscoble3917]

$90K? What are you smoking? Mine is a loaded 1974 at 70k..... ha.

[@rustyboltz2820]

Toyota has been definitely going downhill with all this small crap, next thing you know it'll be something else like the wiring which they cheaped out on in the past decade. Back in the day the quality was higher but people complained that they were bland and not stylish like other manufacturers for what they pay for, so now we have a large part of the money spent on aesthetics instead of functional engineering.

[@montybradford3674]

Don’t try this! If those tabs don’t pop out clean you’re screwed.

[@residualboulders]

Yeah you need some panel pry tools and patience. I've removed panels on many vehicles without issue.

[@montybradford3674]

I have the prying tools and I’ve changed out a couple of electric window motors one other vehicles in the past. When I popped the corner piece out, both tabs stayed with the truck.

[@residualboulders]

@@montybradford3674 Bummer, sorry to hear it. You should be able to pry them out and reuse them? I have had to replace a couple of clips over the years that I have broken, but wasn't a big deal.

@@residualboulders LOL same feeling here I am on my 5th Tundra for me since 2008, 2 of my previous being 2016/2017 TRD Pros. Besides a few rattles that you just showed me how to fix, I love the 22 TRD Pro more then any of them in so many different ways. Thanks for the video! I asked another KZbinr do a how to on the door panel removal, as I have rattle on my passenger side when I play music with really strong base. You went a step futher and actually figured out what I have been putting off, I was even thinking of waiting for my first service and having the dealer take care of it. However since you figured out the locations Im just going to do what you did on the weekend.

[@residualboulders]

@@JohnnyP636 good luck! Hopefully yours is rattling in the same area so it fixes the issue. I removed the rigid carpet inserts in the door, that was part of the problem. I need to find something aftermarket to replace them with. I have noticed the audio is not as crisp as the JBL in my 21' Landcruiser. I'm not sure what they did differently, maybe I'll take apart my cruiser door and compare. This new gen tundra is a huge improvement over the last in my opinion. Enjoy your new truck!
