The second most basic possibility of a cabin noise in your Ford Flex 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 examining your ceiling light which is very often the reason of a cabin noise on Ford Flex.

I notice a cabin noise when hot Ford Flex
If, on the other hand, you listen to cabin noises in your Ford Flex when summer comes or when the outside temperature is warm, it is sadly rational that this problem manifests itself more during these cycles. In fact, 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 cause cabin noises when hot on your Ford Flex. It is difficult to fix this problem, you can always look for the exact source of the noise, and try to put foams or tape between the expanding units to limit their noise from their expansion.
