Do you guys with older cars have all sorts of noises?

My civic only has 47,000 miles, but it's started to rattle/squeak/click everywhere.

When I bought it last year at 35,000 miles, there wasn't any sound. NONE.

I put in a new air filter, took apart the a/c controls and arm rest, put in a amp, and took the rear deck apart once.

What do you guys do to stop all the noise?

 

I drive a 96 LX and the only this that rattles is my door panel, I probably just need to go tighten a couple of screws and it'll be gone...

As for your issues, just isolate each noise and treat them as seperate issues. It helps a lot to have someone else drive your car so you can pay more attention to where your noises are coming from. That is of course if your noises are coming from inside the car. If you are talking about engine noises then you'll need to be a little more specific on the noises.

 

You can track down some noises by using a stethoscope with the end removed, or by putting a section of hose/tubingagainst your ear as you carefully search your stationary car.

 

Those ratlings could be any one of hundreds of things. Probably not helpful, but I remember my horn came loose so I took it all apart and re-attached it properly.

 

The most noticeable is clicks/squeaks from the C-pillars? I'm not sure if thats what they are called, its the pillars on each side that touch the back window, where passengers' heads are.

It seems to be the frame or something, because it makes that noise everytime I make a turn, and when its really cold outside the thing goes crazy and makes a noise over every bump.

Then there's one coming from the center vents

and one from the dashboard rubbing against the A-pillar, close to the circular vent

 

it could be the rear deck and taillightrubbing against the back window also
