I started experiencing a vibration/rattle in the passenger side dash area near the front "corner". It only happens after reaching 40 mph or so. It's quite annoying and I can't seem to figure out the issue. Here are a couple of quick videos I made (unfortunately) while driving to try and pinpoint the location. It's driving me insane. Please help. I've added a couple of links to quick videos of the noise. Hard to do while driving. https://photos.app.goo.gl/pA6nhoB5YKYX77Eh8 https://photos.app.goo.gl/r5sMvmHGQiAng6ke6
Re: Vibrating Noise from Passenger Dash / Pillar area
Any luck fixing this? It sounds like I have the same thing. The buzzing starts at 40 mph and comes from the passenger side, although I can't find the exact location. Sometimes the noise disappears for a few days but it always comes back. Someone suggested it might be the ANC module, but I unplugged this and there was no change. Most of the videos online say this is a sign of a bad wheel bearing, but steering doesn't change the noise. I might just be ignorant, but I'm convinced it's coming from the interior. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Yes please share any luck with fixing this. I have the same issue and it's driving me crazy. I have found a few of the plastic pop rivets in the engine compartment holding down some plastic and rubber under the cowl at the top of the firewall and strut tower area, but after securing the pieces they were holding I found it accomplished nothing.

I have the same noise but on the drivers side. Has anyone been able to find the source of the noise?
Re: Vibrating Noise from Passenger Dash / Pillar area
I have the same problem as mentioned. The noise started on the right side and I brought it to the dealer. They charge me $165 for the diagnostic and told me it was the a-pillar and it need to be replace but they temporary sealant because there is a shortage on part. I don’t buy it all but they somehow fixed the noise and gave me some BS. Now, the passenger side is making the same sound. I hesitant to bring it back to the dealer but I feel like this is a Honda manufacturer problem and the dealers has the tool to scan and fix it. I hope someone can step up and make Honda accountable for the permanent fix

Re: Vibrating Noise from Passenger Dash / Pillar area
I had a similar problem on the driver's side pillar area. I struggled for months to diagnose the vibrating sound. The noise only comes when I drive above 50mph. Finally found what was causing the rattling sound. It was the roof drip molding gasket. This happened on two of my Honda Accord's 2012 and 2013. I'm attaching a picture of the rubber gasket that over time tore from the molding and was the cause of the rattling sound. I pulled the thin strip of rubber till it snapped and now the noise is gone. You probably have to inspect closely to see where the rubber gasket has failed. The rubber gasket tear can be anywhere along the windshield to top of the roof

Re: Vibrating Noise from Passenger Dash / Pillar area
Check the drip moulding surrounding your windshield. The rubber gasket over time deteriorates and you will notice a thin strip of rubber ( like a rubber band) separated. Once you tear the rubber strip the vibrating noise should go away. It did for me.
