GAHHHHH That sucks!! Squeaks and rattles at the hardest to find, diagnose and fix! It could be from just about anything being too tight, to loos, somethings rubbing up against each other weird, I wish I could help but I haven't had this trouble in any of my cars.
I might try and take everything out of the consoles so they are completely empty and open up the cup older and console lid and see if I can't hear them better and try and find out exactly where they are and keep going back to them. Maybe discuss ways that you can help them identify and fix this.

thx Elmo n R4
I'm not letting anything get me down about this vehicle, This beauty! I came off the Lexus hybrid. I told the tech about this on Monday n they said A vacuum hose or something was loose n they taped it up but that was just to get me out of the door I think.. Well.. they got to the squeak in the rear sway bars n lubed it. So that may be happy. Also that they did the tsb 111 [or 9-13-3].
I felt around in the back of the radio area, and everything felt solid though n nothing was loose. I tried pushing and pulling on the console, Nothing worked to stop it.
I'm not going to sweat it when I have to bring it for something else, maybe they will have a fix for it then.
Thanks again

I couldn't help but notice you have an aftermarket shift bracket on your car. I had one as well on mine and noticed it would squeak sometimes especially when going over bumps. When I took my aftermarket one off before I sold my car the noise went away. Perhaps try greasing up the bushing on your shift bracket and see if that helps. Just an idea.
I would give the dealer a shot. I have found the best way to do these is to have a tech go for a ride with you, so you can point it out. I have tried detailed instructions, but they never make it to the tech. If you cannot duplicate it, then it will be up to the dealer if they want to take it apart and look, as Ford might not pay them for the work.
If all else fails, it isn't that hard to take apart that area. I have had might apart twice to clean the radio display; the second time I put a clear tablet shield over it.
