Default why does my truck have so many rattles?

They drive me insane, and I only have 26,000 miles.

It's in their nature. I've accepted it. I've had other GM vehicles and family members have to, they all do it.

Mine kinda does the same thing. Squeaks and creaks. Ive cured a few, the one that was coming from under the dash was fun to track down.

I think my antenna makes a noise when it is really windy on the highway. That annoys me quite a bit.

The only real annoying rattles I had were from the inside of the doors. The bolts that hold the window carriages were loose. I tightened them about 2 years and haven't had a rattle problem since. The only other "noise" annoyance I have now is a whistle at highway speeds from the passenger door. I think it's from the door seal.
