Rattle or strange electronic sound? Grinding? Scrapping? Rotating? Techno beat? Maybe you're new to the Renesis and never knew it whistles at you?

That CD changing sound when you turn on the car is the self check for the SSV and APV valves if im not mistaken

Are you sure its coming from the dash and not your steering wheel? Turn your car on and push up on the bottom of the steering wheel cover (where the M symbol is) just hard enough not to honk the horn. I had the same problem and I couldn't figure out where it was coming from at first. Let me know.

EDIT: This is a rattling sound.
