although i realize it is trie to compare sounds, i too recently developed this. does it increase at all with a bit more vibration and speed/wind?
i've also got one around the driver's side of the upper dash.

yes, if I'm driving on the highway I will get it much more often. Sometimes its a faint crack noise like the plastics are moving and other times it will be louder. I live in California and we have the white discs between lanes on the highway and I get the crack noise almost every time I change lanes. If I'm driving in the city then its when I hit bumps on the road.
I have some cracking on the dash, but not nearly as often. To me it sounds like it comes from the radio area, maybe a little higher. That doesn't annoy me nearly as much as the B pillar crack noise though. THAT IS SERIOUSLY ANNOYING. Sometimes I get so pissed off when it doesn't stop and keeps cracking like every 2 secs.
