Tiguan :: Tinny Grind Or Rattle Sound When Shifting Gears

I have had my 2010 Tiguan SE for about a month now and I have noticed a sound when it shifts that sounds like a tinny grind or rattle. This happens mostly in "D" not "S" mode and at the lower RPMs. Is it normal?

I took it to my dealer and of course they said they heard nothing, but it doesn't seem like something a new car should sound like.

Golf IV R32 :: Hard Shifting To 6th Gear - Tinny Rattle At Startup

Third owner with about 81k, sometimes when I go to shift into sixth it seems like there is something stopping me about half way into normal position. Normally I have to go back to neutral and then try again. I don't have this issue with the other gears.

second question, I've noticed under deceleration mostly or going slow over bumps that I can hear a tin style rattle. Now the last couple days when I start the car with or without AC running there is a constant rattle making me think that whatever was rattling over bumps is about to make a run for it when I hit a big bump or something.

Golf/GTI VI :: 2011 - Tinny Speaker Sound?

Prius (2010-12) :: Tinny Clunking Sounding Rattle - Catalytic Converter Failing

Took my car to a shop today after I'd been experiencing a "tinny clunking" sounding rattle. I was worried it might be my catalytic converter and after couple of bumps on the exhaust system while on the lift, the tech thought this was indeed the case. Replacing the catalytic converter could be a $1500+ job from what I hear if replaced by toyota.

Golf IV R32 :: Loud / Tinny-Sounding Banging Noise From Rear Of Car

Went out to run some errands this morning, and was alarmed to hear a loud, tinny-sounding banging noise from the rear of the car. It would occur on every bump. little or big; every time I braked; every time I started up from a stop; after each shift to a higher gear; and every time I turned a corner.

I was getting really concerned, as I had never heard a noise quite like this on any car, ever before. When I got home, I pulled the floor jack out of the garage, then went to the trunk to get my torque wrench with the wheel bolt socket on it.

When I opened the trunk, this is what I saw: ...

Golf/GTI VI :: Strange Rattle Sound When Driving?

So here I am at just under 500 miles on the odometer, and I'm beginning to notice a strange rattle sound when driving. This rattle occurs either after I let off the throttle in any gear, or when the RPMs are dropping from 2500 - 1000. It happens only for a short moment and it almost sounds like something tapping a few times somewhere on the axle or drivetrain. I first actually noticed it when my music was turned up because I could feel the vibration in the steering wheel. Anyways, I have a call out to the service department to have it looked at ASAP.

Golf/GTI VI :: Rattle Sound From Engine Bay Area When Accelerate

I have weird sound from the engine bay area when i accelerate. Some describe this sound as "pop rocks in a soda can", "rattling of metal washers" or "fast ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-". I read all the posts and apparently its the TSI engine's turbo's waste gate which is not replaceable because its riveted on to the turbo (FSI's turbo's waste gate was apparently bolted on) is responsible for the noise.

I thought something was loose in my engine bay. I thought it was just MY CAR, so I planned on mentioning it when i go in for my first oil change, but I ran into this thread and figured out that it is a widespread "annoyance" (not a "problem" because VW claims that this noise is "normal").

This noise comes in around 2400rpm~3000rpm on my car if you give it around 1/3 ~1/2 throttle. This noise can be replicated on my car on all the gears pretty much (i have DSG fyi) with the windows rolled up. (if you cant make it out, try rolling down the window)

The noise sounds horrible! (to me at least). It's like I am driving something that's put together poorly and it is also quite embarrassing when you have a passenger with you...

Golf/GTI VII :: Dull Rattle Sound Coming From The Defroster Vents

New GTI owner here! Just picked up my '16 carbon steel gray Autobahn with PP, DSG, DCC, Xenon. Really enjoying it. Coming from an 07 E92 335i, I'm still getting used to the very different feel of this vehicle, but it's mostly a pleasant experience. However, one issue: there's a sound coming from the defroster vents, a kind of dull "rattle sound" that isn't anything terrible but I wish it wasn't there. It isn't a leaf hitting a fan blade as it goes away if I turn off the defrost vents. It just sounds like air hitting a rough edge on something causing a turbulence noise. I guess it could be something fluttering in that area, but I can't see anything when looking at the vent from outside the car and it's very constant.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Rattle Snake Sound After Clutch Swap

2000 GTI all stock 220K miles

AEG motor

02J transmission

I just swapped clutch on the manual transmission of 2.0L 4 cylinder GTI.

Now every time I start the motor, I hear high pitched rattlesnake sound. It starts about 2-3 seconds after the motor starts.

The sound is coming from center of oil pan or downpipe area but can't tell how high on the motor's long block the source of sound is located at.

Check out the following youtube video. You can hear the sound at 9 seconds and it get really audible around 12 - 14 seconds and disappears around 21 seconds. I can hear this sound for the whole duration of motor running. The sound is not coming from the downpipe cover.

Golf IV R32 :: Rattle Metal Sound When Car Is Cold Starting Out In 1st Gear

I have the eip street series catback- that is it for exhaust mods.

Every time (when car is cold) I start out in 1st, just after I release the clutch (1100 rpms or so) I hear a slight metal rattling noise for a second or two. It sounds as if it is coming from near the cats. And the noise disappears after the car warms up.

What it could be? Is there a heat shield above the cats that might rattle?

Ford Exhaust :: Rattle Sound At Certain RPM Range

I use the term rattle loosely, as i can't be certain what the sound actually is like. I heard it described as sounding like 10 nuts bouncing around the muffler. I only hear the sound at 1750-1900 RPM it seems, and it has to be under load to produce it (I.e Regular driving), i cannot produce it while in park/neutral.

I'm fairly certain it has to do with the exhaust, now, my studs on my headers are mostly well, i have 2 top studs broken off on driver side manifold (1 each end).

Diagram:
x . . . x
. . . . .

The engine bay is a bit loud, but if it was my headers, wouldn't the "rattle" happen in park/neutral as well?

My muffler is a flowmaster, no idea how long it's been on there, as i am the 3rd owner of the truck (99' f250 v10), it's pretty rusty now.

Everything is clamped well, no black carbon marks at joints showing a leak so i figure that's about the only good thing so far.

- I ruled out heat shields, tightened all that are in good condition and removed one near the tailpipe since i dump under the box.
- Was told about the transmission inspection plate, well mine has been off for a while and the flexplate appears to have no damage/cracks and is tightened.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Eliminate Rattle Sound When Go Over Bumps

I did some searching, and it seems the only way to eliminate the rattle from the rear tonneau cover is to remove it completely? I use mine all the time, so I don't want to remove it, but the flap seems to make noise over most bumps. Any way to eliminate the sounds that it makes over bumps?

Silverado :: Sound Almost Like A Rattle When Driving On Gravel Roads

Ok, I have a noise, rattle, clunk that is bothering the heck out of me. I know it is not the famous clunk from the yoke or the pads missing on the leaf springs. I have even removed the Tailgate thinking that was the issue, but no it was not.

When driving on gravel roads or if I hit small bumps in the road I hear the noise and it sounds like it is coming from underneath and towards the rear of the truck. It is hard to explain the sound, but it almost sounds as if there was something loose and the metal is hitting again the frame?? I have 126000 miles on it, so I figured I would replace the shocks, they needed it and that did not work, it is still there.

Now the twist, when the temp outside gets below 60 the noise starts to fade away or I have to run over a bigger bump to hear it, and below 40 it almost does not exist. Now the hotter it gets out, the more I hear it and during the summer months it is really annoying. I have also looked underneath and could not find anything that looked cracked, broke or loose.

Prius (Gen 2) :: Buzz / Rattle Sound That Is Coolant Being Pumped To ICE

I have a 2005 and a 2007 Prius. I just bought the 2007 used with ~140k, and I have only owned the 2005 for about 10 months, so I am a relatively new Prius owner. I have noticed that the 2007 makes the buzz/rattle sound that is the coolant being pumped to the ICE (I believe) far more often than the 2005. The 2005 does it once every 10 minutes maybe. The 2007 does it constantly. On for three seconds, off for three seconds, on for three seconds...

Prius (2004-09) :: Metallic Rattle Sound During Acceleration

I'm back with another question! My 2006 Prius now has 60,XXX miles and the other day while driving with the windows down, I was climbing a hill to my house and when the engine is at a certain RPM, there is a metallic sound that comes from under the car, but more in the front. You can't even hear it when the windows are up barley, but more when they are down, you can hear it, especially when you're beside a wall or guard rail and the sound can reverberate back.
