I only notice most rattles when it's cold out, now that winter is ending I rarely hear rattles anymore.
Same here.. and it's coming from the Front passenger side dashboard.
I saw you posted a post on youtube regarding the rattle noise coming from the front dash speaker. Yesterday, I pry open the speaker cover to see if there is any rattle noise from there, then I realized that my 08 speaker mount is made by plastic, not like the metal plates shows on the youtube clip Now i really have no idea where was the noise came from....
I heard a rattle the other day. It was the passenger seatbelt that had got twisted when retracting and was hitting the B pillar trim. Simple fix of turning the seatbelt so it would fully retract.
That was my first one in 24 months and 26,000 miles.

Thanks for the notice. The seat belt will cause some noise if it's not proper retracted. When i did my rattle noise test drive, I buckled up the passenger side seat belt so it won't hit anything, but the rattles still coming out from somewhere in the front instrument panel. Like Geoff said, only happened in Cold weather, so I will have to wait till winter to come to spot the problem again
(I think there is a dashboard rattle TSB for this, too, T-NV008-07-Instrument Panel Rattle Noise.)
My dash rattle problem was solved by pushing a small piece of foam rubber into the dash areas adjacent to the speaker plates, pushed as far as it would go using a thin ruler. No more cold weather rattle.

2007 V6 Camry LE, Built TMMK 27 September 06
"People who think they know it all are particularly irritating to those of us who do."
dash noises, rear deck rattles, b-pillar rattles all caused me buy a whole bunch of damplifier. I am half-way through with the install and it makes a worthwhile difference. don't got cheap with these type of products...
I am confident that the 2009 models will be less prone to rattles. I test drove a 09 Camry SE V6 last Saturday and I noticed that the build quality is significantly better than my friend's 07 XLE I4. I noticed fewer interior gaps, especially the infamous gap on the right hand side of the center stack. I think Toyota's quality control has improved a lot since the model's launch.
i have an 09 le v6. this is what i've heard so far:
-something in the middle air vent which sounds like its flapping when the fan is turned on at middle speed
-a squeak in the driver's side seatbelt. if i move forward slightly i can hear it which is very annoying because it's right next to my ear
-a faint electronic sounding buzz when i gently squeeze brakes (intermittent)
-a ticking sounds coming from the steering column when I go over bumps (intermittent)
Other things which really (!!!!) annoy me:
-a very badly trimmed plastic piece on the passenger door plastic (the part which surrounds the power window switch).
-the upper dashboard piece surrounding the clock does not sit flush with the rest of the dashboard
-the plastic surrounding the middle vent does not sit flush
-one of the rear seat fabric has some bunching
admittedly i'm pretty anal so for most people they won't care but it just really bothers me. this is my first new car (and my first import).
so far with about 3,000 on the clock this is what I notice...
the dash where the guage console is rattles very regularly and it can be heard if the
radio is not on.
the dash where the clock is near the windshield always rattles.
the driver door pod where the switch's are makes a rattling noise as well
the brakes do make an electronic sort of chime or ringing noise when under light braking
