Swinging plastic flap type noise

Don't laugh,

I have a noise coming from (I think) the passenger side dash area. Sounds like a flap of some kind swinging back and forth, only sometimes when I go over a bump. I'm 99.9% sure it isn't steering/suspension related.

Anyone else experienced this or got any ideas, have searched google high and low but can't find anything similar.

All sorted.

It was the passenger footwell airducts. There's a hook/clip on it that attaches to a metal rail behind the glovebox, it had slipped off and the duct was bouncing up and down.

That's so annoying when you hear something like that. Well done though for finding it :-)
