My RT makes several interesting noises. Here's the thing. If they weren't as quiet
as a Church mouse to begin with, all or most of the noises people ask about, would not be heard.
Sometimes I think I can hear the wheel bearings rotating.

Had the same issue on my 2015. I had the mirrors off and drove it, I looked everywhere for that squeak. It almost drove me crazy. Someone on this forum told me to squirt some WD40 into the windshield bushings. I took the windshield off so I could get at them good, gave them all a squirt & the noise was gone. My dealer replaced the bushings under warranty and it hasn't happened since. If it comes back, I would try silicone first but I think there is a 90% chance it's the bushings..

i just remembered a old story. back in the 70's during my apprenticeship in my union, i drove a tow truck for a body shop at night and on weekends. a man came into the shop complaining of a noise in his car that would happen every now and then and the dealer couldn't find it. he said it was on the passenger side. the boss jimmy went for a ride and didn't hear the noise, the guy said he didn't care, he wanted jimmy to find it. well the next week when i went back to work on the weekend i asked jimmy if they ever found the noise on the guys car. he laughed and said yea. turns out they took off a few bolts from the front left fender, and found a beer can stuck in the lower part of the fender. they figure someone on the assembly line had a beer, and to get rid of the can, put it in the fender to get rid of it.

I have a sort of rattle , now I am thinking , that the fronk cover latch is making the noise , It is a loose piece of metal that the stationary latch on the cycle grabs too lock it , when you open the front trunk, give it a little shake see if you hear the rattle ! just a thought ! from a cool 60 degrees Indiana u.s.a.

It was the mirrors on my RT. Just hold onto them one at a time and see if that stops the noise.

Check the end-links on your anti-swaybar: both at the bar, and where it attaches to the lower a-arm. These can loosen up over time, and "creak".
