Dash Vibration at 4000 RPM

I have a Vibe GT (6-speed) and I noticed that there is a vibration coming from inside the dash when I am between 4000 and 5000 RPM's. Its pretty loud and is getting annoying.

I was gonna ask the dealer to check it out, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to check here first.

Anyone else experience this?

I have noticed a bit of vibration as well. Mine seems to come from the middle of the cabin or the passenger side. I notice it around 3200-3500 RPMs. I also notice a sound that sounds like my keys vibrating or jingling together sometimes (even if I am holding my keys together to prevent this).

I noticed some too, but when I put on the TRD sport exhaust it went away but was promptly replaced with a nice 95 dB roar from 3300 to 3800 rpm. This isn't annoying unless your going 50 miles at 70 MPH which places to load rumble right in the middle of 6th gear. Its either go 80 or downshift to 5th.

I have noticed this noise also. But it started shortly after I installed a remote starter. I am not done installing it, and I temporarily pushed the connectors and wiring up inside the dash. I thought maybe these were vibrating, but now that I see others ahve this problem I will have the dealer check it out.
PS: Mine is a 2005 model and I have 33000Kms. The noise started about 6 months ago. I hear it at approx 2200 RPM

I just thought... maybe it is normal for a "vibe" to vibrate??

Anyways mine was in teh shop for an oil/filter change and I asked them to check for the vibration noise.

One hour later the mechanic found the cause... a shock sensor unit that I had installed (alarm component that came with an aftermarket remote car starter I purchased)!!
