Anyone have that, when going through bumps? I think noise is coming from the centre console, Im not sure which spot does it. My springs are very stiff when its cold, so its very sensative to bumps. And I can hear "squeak squeak" everytime.

Is it when you go over bumps, or let off the gas? I've had this noise for years now but it happens when I let off the gas.

i think when I go over the bumps, not just speed bumps but any tiny bumps on the road

Sliders; springs; possibly your seatbelt tensioner would be my guesses. Does it sound like something is loose or like something needs to be lubed?

I have the same problem. Actually think its coming from the drivers seat and only hear it when I go over bumps. Irritating to say the least.

My speed 3 recently begun making that same squeak sound.
I spent some time Sunday to find out where it was coming from.
Removed the centre console, and ashtray compartment.
I was able to put my finger on the problem.
It was coming from the Climate control unit. When I was pressing/shaking the Climate Control unit where the lower right screw fixes the unit to the Console, it squeaked.
I could not figure out how to really address the problem. I added some grease in the crack (gap) between the Climate Control unit and the radio unit, but no results. I ended up squeezing tiny bits of Kleenex between the Climate control unit and the radio unit for padding, as well as on both sides betwen the Climate Control unit and the black console.

Result: Squeaking sounds is gone, for today anyway. Will see how this will do overtime.

I was getting some squeaking sounds on my car a few months ago but then they went away on their own. Never figured out exactly what it was but at the time I had pretty much localized it to my seatbelt buckles (on both the driver and passenger side). I was going to spray a bit of lube in them but the noise seemed to go away on it's own after a few days.
