Noise from the driver seat
For the last week I have been driving and when I go over even the slightest bump I hear a noise that is similar to keys jingling but more faint. I can replicate it if I move my body from left to right in my seat or bob up and down. But the weird thing about it is, it does not happen all the time.
Last night I was driving home from work and it happened for almost the whole ride. When i pulled up to my home i tried to replicate it and I couldn't.
It is not something that only happens when the car is in motion because I have replicated it by moving around at a red light before.
My car was at Audi 3 times this week for a rattle in the back seat and I brought it up to them on its last visit when they were fixing the problem.
So now the old problem is gone but I have this one. They thought they solved this issue because they looked and pulled 4-5 coins out of the track of the seat. I thought that might have fixed it but while driving home I ran into the same issue.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
If the problem persists for another week or two without me being able to locate and fix it myself in some simple way I will bring it back to Audi. I just wanna give them a break, lol they have seen me a lot over the last 2 weeks.
Thanks.

I had a similar sound. I realized after a bit that it was the zipper pull on my laptop bag. I know that sounds lame, but they'd jingle in a strange way that sounded like something loose in my seat or maybe the center console. Not saying it's this, but that's the only persistent rattle I've come across so far :-)
