Default Plasticy Door Rattle, Uugh!

Ok, this is REALLY starting to tick me off!
Passenger door rattle that stops when you push on the panel.
I've had that dang panel off 4 times now. Each time adding more felt, tape, grease, shims, you name it. It goes away for a few days then comes back.
It's not the plastic loop that holds the door lock in place either.
HAS ANYONE FIGURED OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS ANNOYING TICKING SOUND? I'm about ready to start driving around without a passenger door panel.

It may well be the wire harness.

^This, in my case. I wrapped some ordinary open cell foam around a section of the wire. Done!

Can you be more specific?
Is it behind the black plastic sheet that is glued to the door?

I have noticed that when I play my music loud the plastic that covers the gauge cluster rattles as well. Anyone else have this issue?
