It is driving me crazy. slight hum/rattle/buzz when on rough roads. Oddly enough it stops when I pull the visor all the way down. Anyone else have trouble with this?

I’ve been hunting for a rattle that seems to be cool temperature dependent and only on rough roads. Next time the rattle starts, I’m going to try your visor trick to see if it’s the culprit.

I have that temperature rattle too. Mine was the center of the bottom trim that went around the display screen on the dash. Press around the edges next time you hear it and you will see

Good to know. I had the rattle this morning and determined it is definitely not the sun visor. I’ll try around the center display next time the noise crops up.

It ended up not being the mirror rattling
So I was tracking down a rattle that would come and go. Temperature and road condition was the cause of it's intermittent nature. I evening commute home, the rattle was pretty consistent and I just happened to put my hand on the inside modeling of the A pillar and I was able to make the noise...

Thought I was the only one! My drivers side visor makes noise in high heat and when it’s cool it makes no noise. Can’t believe that has happened to someone else, thought that was just a weird phenomenon.
I have no fix or solution, I found that if you stuff something in there to deploy it an 1/4“ it removes it but that’s hardly a solution, I was thinking about taking it back to the dealer under warranty because it bothers me so much.

Yes
LOL I've wedged everything in there. It doesnt work. Thinking about taking it off and going visorless lol
If I interpret your answer correctly removing the visor from the holder and the sound goes away. Two things that might be obvious.
1) Is the mount loose? My Sonata did this and while the mount wasnt "loose" per say...each screw had about a turn maybe a turn and a half left to go and then it went away.
2) You said you stuffed everything in there. Did you put anything between the mount and the visor clip?
Chasing sound noises is a chore for sure.

Yes Ive removed it, tightened it, opened the mirror, etc. It goes away when I fold it down, im so tall I cant see once I pull the visor down lol. I wonder if I could swap it out with a previous gen visor?
Ok...I looked it over. What a crappy design. I am guessing the removable side mount is just a friction fit piece. Mine wiggled very little (piece on the head liner).
I also notice that the roller bar that fits into the headliner is sloppy. If I moved it back and forth it did "rattle" a little.
Do you have any give (dont yank super hard..just see by rocking it back and forth) if its fairly loose. On mine I could create a little gap on the side closest to the drivers seat.
On the roller piece on the visor itself. Can you wiggle it around to make it generate the noise?

I have not been able to replicate it. I just know its the visor because if I fold it down it goes away. Nothing on it really seems "loose" per say

Curious which part of the visor you're talking about, the slidey bit that covers the mirror or the little extension thingey.

Slidey bit
yeah i'm finding my rattle is also from the mirror slider cover. i stuck a folded napkin in the visor before folding up and the rattle went away. i'm currently trying to figure out a way to put some resistance on that slider cover when folded up/flat/away. a little sticky grease in the channels is a thought i have.
