Hi
I’ve got this noise. Anyone have this too. It happens at all speeds and on various road surfaces. It also happen at very low speed. It is the body flexing I think. It transfers to the inside and although I’m showing the noise on the passenger side, it also happens on the drivers side. I believe it’s something to do with the bonnet rubbing on some under bonnet trim.

Certainly sounds like something loose. It's still under warranty. I'm sure your dealer will sort it.

Manufactures spend loads of money, and time, to make sure their cars are rattle free - but sometimes with all the flexing and moving parts a few still do - however when they do your supplying dealer, or any Volvo dealer, should be more than happy to resolve the issue.

So, after quite some time looking into this noise, I can confirm that I found it. Turns out to be that the bonnet rubs on some plastic fixed to the wing. I adjusted 2 bolts, one either side, and the noise has completely gone. I do have another noise. That has been diagnosed as one of the front suspension struts. Being replaced next week under warranty.

Yep, you’re right.
The bonnet was making the plastic trim (yellow) rub the body work to which it was mounted. After lubricating everything in site without success, I unscrewed the bolt (red). This In effect jacked the bonnet away from the plastic trim. Did this on both sides and the noise disappeared. I’ve put up with the noise from new. It was annoying but not annoying enough to take it to the garage.
