It is never pleasurable to hear a noise you don’t know anything about and comes from your car. So what if you identify a noise that continues in the cabin of your Citroen C5?

Reasons that can cause noise in the passenger cabin of your Citroen C5
I experience plastic rattling noises on the dashboard Citroen C5
One of the plausible explanations that can generate a plastic rattling noise in your Citroen C5 is that your dashboard, after a repair or vibrations suffered during its lifetime, it may have fasteners that have come loose or unscrewed. Try to discover the specific location of this plastic rattling noise on Citroen C5 and using your vehicle’s technical manual try to examine the tightness of all the screws involved. Otherwise take your vehicle to your technician.
I hear noises in the cabin Citroen C5
The second most common possibility of a cabin noise in your Citroen C5 is that some elements that come apart may be loose, either because of too frequent disassembly that would have reduced the holding between these parts, or because of vibrations. Think about verifying your ceiling light which is sometimes the cause of a cabin noise on Citroen C5. Otherwise open your doors, those closest to the source of the noise and examine all the openings, covers that are present there, some may have moved and therefore vibrate while driving. Usually putting them back in place or gluing them is enough to solve the problem.
I discern door noises on my Citroen C5
If you feel a plastic noise on the doors of your Citroen C5, it is plausible that it is one of your door trim fasteners that is broken, or a screw from an internal mechanism of the glass for example or the loudspeaker that has unscrewed and therefore causes the part in question to rub against the door interior. Feel free to take apart your door trim to find the source of this plastic door noise on Citroen C5. For more information on door noises on Citroen C5, feel free to look at this article.
I hear a cabin noise when hot Citroen C5
If, on the other hand, you listen to cabin noises in your Citroen C5 when summer starts or when the outside temperature is warm, it is sadly plausible that this problem manifests itself more during these cycles. Indeed, plastic being a rather flexible material will expand with heat and will therefore much more easily rub on other plastic or metal parts, this is what will induce cabin noises when hot on your Citroen C5. It is difficult to fix this problem, you can always look for the exact origin of the noise, and try to put foams or tape between the expanding units to limit their noise from their expansion.
