Default center console

Any of u guys ever have noise coming from the center console(meaning the armrest)?
at 1st i thought it was the seat, but after further review, its the console. Strange, it happens when i stop, or when i go, not when im continuly driving, any advice?

1 more, different noise, but when i get out of the car im hearing like a harsh click noise from the rear when i get out of the car(im not that fat, im 205). Could it be the shocks?

thanks..

Console sound:
Are you positive there is nothing rolling around in the console, both levels? See if you can have someone watch the inside of the console while you drive to attempt at pinpointing the location of the sound.

Creak:
Probably a cold and/or worn suspension component / bushing. Have it geased at the dealer? My LTuned sometimes becomes a little more vocal during the cooler temps.

I notice faint creaking from center console when braking at anything more than modest rate. Haven't brought it up with dealer, not as annoying as the sunroof shade.........
