Reasons that can cause noise in the passenger cabin of your Nissan Maxima

The second most common possibility of a cabin noise in your Nissan Maxima is that some components that come apart may be loose, either because of too frequent disassembly that would have reduced the holding between these elements, or because of vibrations. Think about checking your ceiling light which is very often the reason of a cabin noise on Nissan Maxima. Otherwise open your doors, those closest to the source of the noise and examine all the openings, covers that are installed there, some may have moved and therefore vibrate while driving.

I hear a cabin noise when hot Nissan Maxima
If, on the other hand, you listen to cabin noises in your Nissan Maxima when summer arrives or when the outside temperature is warm, it is unfortunately logical that this trouble manifests itself more during these times. 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 generate cabin noises when hot on your Nissan Maxima. It is difficult to resolve this problem, you can always look for the exact source of the noise, and try to put foams or tape between the expanding parts to limit their noise from their expansion.
