Rattle Vibration Thing - NO!

I have this odd Vibration Rattle sound comming from somewhere in the Dashboard it seems. I dont keep anything in the glovebox or cup holders or even the center console, so I know it isn't anything I am causing by the placing of something. Maybe it is comming from a wire or something in the dash.

Has anyone elses had a similar problem with an 2002 Camry XLE V6?
Toyota thinks I am nuts, they say they can't "replicate the problem" but I have friends that said they hear it too. It's supposed to be a really quiet car and between theses shitty tires that it came with from the factory and the damn rattle, I don't know how to call it quiet...

Any suggestions?

How fast are you driving when you hear this rattle? If you hear it at highway speeds, it could be your heat shield under the car.The shield is between the cat. converter and the body. When enough wind gets under it, it starts banging against the floor. You can just bend it back, from what I've heard. I think there actually may be a TSB on this.

Do you have any parking passes hanging on your rear view mirror? That's what caused an interior rattling sound in my car and it took me forever to figure it out.

Start banging on the dashboard, center console, etc to try to reproduce the sound. Rattles take a lot of time to diagnose, but once you find the source of the problem, you will feel really really good! You can also peep from under the dash and have a family member bang on your dashboard for you! I have removed my center console and door panels on my Gen4 before, to get rid of rattles. A haynes manual would be a great help.

Generally metal rubbing against metal causes squeaks and rattles. But I've come across leather rubbing against leather that causes squeaks too, took me months to figure that one out!
