I've noticed that whenever there is any kind of loud volume up front, the dash vibrates. When I squeeze the dash pad down, it goes away. I've tried tightening down the screws, doesn't help. You guys think foam tape would help? I know there are a million combinations that can make a buzz, but has anyone had a similar one? Thanks.

I had a similar problem with my Camaro's dashpad buzzing and rattling and bouncing so I took the dashpad off, stuffed a couple old rags and some old socks under and put the dashpad, problem solved and what people can't see won't hurt them. If you want to be fance you could probably use some kind of sound deadening to do the same but I didn't...mine works good.

They may not see it, but if they smell them old socks when the heaters on, your in trouble boy...

I think the question should be if someone doesn't have that rattle. Mine had it. Few ways of fixing it. Adding mass (making it harder for stuff to move it) like sounddeadener on parts and keeping parts from squeeking (it might be a plastic on plastic noise... so use something like velcro (works pretty good on the loop side) or a foam weatherstripping tape, or even just pieces of carpet.
