I hear a rattle occasionally in that area. When it first started I tried pushing and holding different spots on the dash while it was rattling. I narrowed it down to the be the clear panel on the instrument cluster rattling against the top cover of the steering column. Apparently the clips that hold that panel on the top of the steering column come loose a little and I have to press it down again.
At first it was very annoying, and now I rarely hear it rattle. Not sure if I finally got the cover seated correctly or if my hearing has deteriorated enough that I don't notice it.
