wow my 2014 has developed so many small interior noises its hard to keep track. I had a Tick tick tick lower passenger side A pillar area.. seemed to have conquered that one! months later it moved to the drivers side with a vengeance! frequent tick tick tick snapping noise. Now I have an additional noise rattle in the passenger front door. A week later after that, I have some weird noise right in middle of dash area behind the Infotainment screen! like a loose nut bopping around. 70k miles and it feels like a car with 200k on it . Still like it for the most part, but my 2012 Gen 2 Mazda3 was way better in this respect.
 
Is yours a VIN 3 or VIN J? I was looking to avoid a '14 model and avoid VIN 3 Mexico ones. Ended up with a '16 J Japan. We'll see if rattles such as these don't occur. So far so good at 26k.
