It's been annoying me for weeks. It isn't very loud, but there is a very quiet rattle in my Leaf. In any other car, I wouldn't have even heard it.
I finally traced it down to my Genie garage door remote control. (Sorry, Nissan, I shouldn't have doubted you.) The plastic buttons are loose in the plastic housing, so with a little vibration, they rattle plastic on plastic. This is the Genie GIT1/GIT2/GIT3/GITR3 style remote. I don't know if other models would rattle.
I solved the problem by putting some strips of thin rubber inside the remote control case, between the edges of the buttons and the PC board, leaving the area between the buttons and switches clear. Now it takes a harder press to open the door, but not so hard as to be a problem.
Now everyone be quiet so I can listen to loud, raunchy music on the radio.
