It is not engine noise or anything, it sound likes it is the top maybe? the chassis or alignment (sorry I am a girl I am not sure what I am saying) l notice it if l am slowing down to under 30 or 20 mph.

It is not VERY noisy, but is it normal?
It is a 2002 but it seems wobbly and rattling like an older car despite my dealer saying it has been inspected and is perfect. Or am l over reacting? Thank you!
l do not think it is the top. It does not do it at all at high speeds or anything accelerating.Only around town driving or slowing down to stop and going under 25. It sounds like an oldhorse & carriage you know really creaky.

What you can do is take it a mechanic and have them lube the under carriage and tell them to lube all of the rubber bushings and any thing else thats rubber iunder the car. as for the top try to find a good rubber treatment for convertable tops and that should do the trick.

1st, do not apologize for being a girl, not ALL guys know everything about cars. Seeing as it is a Porsche it should not be making ANY noise except the engine purring.

Does this car see a lot of city driving? If so, u may be hearing brake noise. Porsches have great Brembo brakes but the brake pads & rotors can & do sometimes squeal if u do not get them out on the highway & de-glaze them once in a while. Try doing three back to back 0-70-0 mph runs braking hard enough that the ABS kicks in. If u still hear a noise & u suspect it MAY be brake related have the dealer inspect the calipers to see if one my be dragging a bit.

It could also be dash or panel fit. as the car drives it flexes & the various interior panels come in contact with one another or the main structure of the car & creak, squeak, etc. These r often very frustrating to isolate & track down. In some cases there r no great solutions other than to buy a larger power amplifier for the car stereo or a B&B exhaust system for the Boxster. Good luck to you! ;-)

Have you lubed the doors? Had the same issue on my Boxster -- i.e. squeaking sounds at low speeds. Took it to the dealership and they diagnosed it to the doors and lubed it. Been running quiet ever since. Good luck!

Despite the fact that you got a boxter!. its cool l guess your a girl. Its a 2002 and should be porsche tight regardless.. you problably need new bushings or somtimes common on boxters wheel bearings go bad. If you still think its the conv top try driving with it up or down if it makes the noise in bot positions then it not the top. take it to a local euro car shop.. wit your dad or b/f or hubby whomever so ya dont get ripped off!!
Good luck

You r not over reacting! You r alert & aware. Paying attention can save money later. At low speeds, there is a brake pad wear indicator which produces a higher pitch ''squeaking'' type of sound when the pads r ready to be changed. You will not hear it at faster speeds or when the car is stopped. If u know someone u can trust, have them check the brake pads & seen if they need to be replaced. If the car is a 2002 & depending on the mileage they made need to be replaced. all cars need the brake pads & or shoes replaced at some point.

l suggest that u go to the Web site for the Porsche Club of America (PCA) & find out the regional club that is closest to you. See if u can find an upcoming event for that regional club & go there with ur car. You will find dozens of Porsche experts there who will be able to tell u exactly what is wrong with ur car. They will even be able to tell u the best place to get it fixed -- which is not always a Porsche dealer.

From what u describe, it is a little hard to say what is making the noise. But an experienced Porsche person can tell u in 30 seconds with a test drive. See the link below for the PCA Web site.
