Default First time Accord owner: great except for that Buzzing!

I am enjoying my 5 speed 2012 Accord sedan. Kind of underpowered but still fun.

Would love it more if I could isolate and exterminate the buzzing over grooved and rough rods. As you know its hard to isolat sounds in a car cabin. When driving it sounds like its coming from passenger side door or seat belt adjuster. but when in passenger side it sounds like its driver side. Im going to split the difference and assume its middle and roof related. I dont see any know buzzes that seem to match this (glovebox, rear deck, etc).

Although I do get the rear deck rattle in certain temps ;^(

And then to figure out that noise over the internet is even more fun.

So on "normal" pavement there is no "noise"?

Thanks for the reply. Yep, has to be a slightly rough road. Not necessarily bumps and holes but that new type concrete they use on highways that is textured kind of? Smooth asphalt its good, unless some bumps. Textured highway and bumps I get the buzzing. Its that funky Honda front end suspension I think - all road sensations translate up into cabin.

I THINK I may have isolated it down to cabin roof concole and mateiral. I can drastically reduce the sound if I press straight up on the roof material just behind my sunglass compartment and before the sun roof. If thats it, thats going to be tricky.
