The second most common possibility of a cabin noise in your Opel Insignia is that some parts 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 frequently the reason of a cabin noise on Opel Insignia. Otherwise open your doors, those closest to the origin of the noise and check all the openings, covers that are installed there, some may have moved and therefore vibrate while driving. Usually putting them back in place or gluing them is enough to resolve the issue.

If you feel a plastic noise on the doors of your Opel Insignia, it is possible 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 generates the part in question to rub against the door interior.

I listen to a cabin noise when hot Opel Insignia
If, on the other hand, you feel cabin noises in your Opel Insignia when summer comes or when the outside temperature is warm, it is sadly obvious that this trouble manifests itself more during these periods. 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 induce cabin noises when hot on your Opel Insignia. It is difficult to solve this issue, you can always look for the exact origin of the noise, and try to put foams or tape between the expanding parts to limit their noise from their expansion.
