I am starting a new thread based on a noise coming from under/in the steering column.

I have found the thread where the TSB for 09s is spelled out (the one where the silicone bits have to be flushed out). My symptoms are a little different though:

The rattling sound doesn't come at a certain RPM (neither does it appear to be dependent on RPMs), but rather when I hit rougher patch of road. When I slow down or stop it goes away and it doesn't come back except at random. I can drive over the same patch of road and it may not come back. It has happened on any type of road at various speeds but I cannot seems to generate it consistently.

I wonder if it is something loose or a bit of plastic under the dash. Has this happened to any one? It doesn't appear to be serious but rather annoying.

Thanks
