Default Funny Noise

I went to lunch with some co-workers. On the way this annoying squeak started. It got worse and worse. We were short on time so I couldn't trouble shoot at the place we were eating. I got back to the office. One of the guys tried bouncing on the bumper, nothing. I checked the Tonneau cover and it was not rubbing.
I decided to check my storage boxes under the seat. I moved things around. It turns out to be the hitch I keep back there for towing. I am so glad it was that simple. I thought an exhaust bracket or something was moving.

Nothing worse than an annoying rattle you can't find. We had a guy a work that was very particular about his work vehicle. One of the practical jokers reached up under the dash and hung one of those ball style fishing bobbers in there. It drove the guy nuts. Eventually he practically removed the whole dash assembly trying to find that rattle. I hear he has a contract out on the practical joker if he ever finds me... I mean him.

There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.

I am still not sure. The dealership could not reproduce it. I hear pretty much all the time.
I will have to take it next time.

I had an annoying squeek for quite some time up front which I could not pinpoint. After some research on the Frontier forums, I discovered it could be the hood rubbers/stops that rest on the frame in the engine bay. I treated them with some Rust Check and voila, no more squeek.
There are one on each side of the hood, and one in the center near the latch I believe.

This is more of a pop sound and it mainly happens when turning to the right.
