You have to be more specific. Noise can come from many sources.

My cabin noise increased noticeably when my stock Dunlop tires reached 50% treadwear. And they are noisy tires to begin with. What's your treadwear status, and which tires are you running?

Have you changed your exhaust or intake lately?

Are your windows seating properly when closed?

Have you done any speaker modifications, maybe not buttoned things down securely inside the door panels?

Have you noticed an increase in rattles or vibrations? Worked on your stereo and perhaps not tighted down the various screws that hold everything in place?

Got a bunch of junk in your trunk that might be rattling around?

Try to pin it down a little better. It's hard for us to help you when you just speak of "cabin noise".

Good luck.

my guess is not about tires coz it did have some noise about a year after i bought my car(i was kinda get used to it). normally ,i hear it comin' from inside the stereo console and recently the passenger door. so, is there anyway that the dealership could be able to fix that problem?
