Default rattles and squeaks

So i've noticed lately that my car has way more squakes and rattles than it used to (anyone else have this issue?). I have annoying ones like the one that is a really loud buzzing coming from the driver side tweeter between 1500-2k rpm, or less annoying ones like squeakes that come from the door weathstripping, the leather and whatnot else. I was thikning that I might be able to do something about the doors. I checked out the hinges and they all seems to be off kilter based on the little hash markes on the body. I was thikning if i could adjust (make tighter) the seal between the door and the car's body, some of the squakes coming from the weatherstripping might go away. so i bought me a set of 6 point torx bits and realized that the hinges need 12 point. I tried the T40, which was the only one that fit, but not snug and I wasn't about strip either the bolt or the tool. Has anyone messed with this before or has excesive rattle/squakes in their car? let me know

I have some rattles in the car but it only happens when there is excessive weather changes.

Other than that, the rattle is gone.
