Lexus GX 2004-09 :: Clicking Noise Near The Key / AC Area After Changing Car Battery?

Started happening yesterday evening, it went on for like 15 minutes then gone then came back again. Not sure if this do anything, it happened after we changed the car battery few hours before we drove the car again.

It made noise even when the engine is not running, so the second i put the key in....that noise came up.

Passat (B5) :: Clicking Noise Coming From Dash Area

2001.5 Passat 1.8t auto 98k.

It sounds as though I have a relay in the relay panel behind the headlight switch clicking on and off while I am driving. I searched the archives a bit and through my own reasoning, I figured it is not related to the hazard switch or turn signal stock ( I could be wrong though).

Description: It only clicks while I have my foot on the accelerator and the car is in motion, never other wise. It is not dependent on throttle location; it clicks the same way regardless of where the throttle is as long as it's being pressed. The clicking stops completely when the throttle is not being pressed.

Because of this, I am unable to locate the exact relay that is making the noise as it is impossible for me to open the door and look at the relay panel while driving. The clicking is some what erratic; It will click, pause for 2-4seconds click again then wait anywhere from 2 to 10 seconds and repeat. It's driving me nuts. Evap? Is this normal? Can it be stopped?

Golf/GTI VI :: Clicking Noise On Cold Starts Coming From Fuel Door Area

So after I start my car in the morning (it's garaged in AZ, probably 60 degrees) about 1 minute after leaving the house there is a real odd noise in the back passenger side of the car. It almost sounds like it's coming from the fuel door area.

Click Click Click Click pause Click Click.
Click Click Click Click pause Click Click
Click Click Click Click pause Click Click

Happens for about 45 seconds, and then it's gone and doesn't happen again. It's not correlated to the engine speed or whether the car is moving or not.

Lexus GS 2013+ :: Rattle / Clicking Noise Coming From Passenger Door And Cupholder Area

I think that one of them is coming from the passenger door. It is more of a clicking sound kind of, than a rattle. Maybe as if the door panel isn't tightly attached so it moves back and forth a little and clicks.

The other rattle is from the cupholder area.

I took this car to my dealer and they fixed another rattle from the passenger door (claimed it was a screw in the speaker that had fallen out?), but it was replaced by this new clicking rattle. They also claimed they did something to the cupholder to fix it, but it didn't work.

My question is, how the door panels are attached to the car? I was thinking that if it is attached by a few screws I will try tightening those up myself before I go back to the dealer. It would be great if it was just attached too loosely and I could fix it myself.

Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: 2008 3.3 AWD - Clicking Noise Coming From Driver Side Front Wheel Area

I've got a 2008 santa fe limited 3.3 awd with about 170000 km on it. Lately when I brake I've been hearing a clicking noise coming from what sounds like the driver side front wheel area.

Had it in to my mechanic who checked the brakes and said that pads/calipers/rotors were all fine. They replaced the passenger side front bearing on the lower control arm a few weeks ago and said there is no play or noise coming from any other suspension components.

Where to look next? My mechanic isn't sure what it is so I was going to take it to the dealer and see if they can fix it. Also had new tires installed about a month ago

Engines - Chevrolet - Tahoe :: 2002 - Clicking / Ticking Noise Appears To Be Coming From Engine Area

2002 Chevy Tahoe Z71 ... When I first turn my car on in the morning (or after an extended period of time - i.e. the car has completely cooled down) it makes a clicking / ticking noise that appears to be coming from the engine area. It lasts approximately 10 - 12 seconds and then simply goes away. This happens consistently. I recently had it serviced end-to-end: belts, plugs, total tune-up etc.

Prius (2010-12) :: Hum / Buzz Coming From Back End (Battery Pack Area)

On more than one occasion, when I have gone in my garage at around 5 a.m., I hear a hum/buzz coming from the back end of my Prius. It has to come from the battery pack because the sound seems to come from under the back end of the car and is not as audible when I open the hatch.

Prius Plug-in 2012-15 :: Buzzing From Battery Area / Fan Noise After Shutting Down

I got home yesterday around 5 pm, and after 5 1/2 hours, noticed a buzzing noise from the battery area. It was 50 degrees out, so I don't think it needed cooling? Anyway, I plugged it in for a minute and the sound changed, then unplugged and after a few minutes the sound shut off. Never experienced this before, so long after shutting down. No sound this morning and charging now, no problem so far.

Prius (Gen 3) :: Noise Coming From The Hatch Area

This morning whilst backing out of my driveway and starting to drive down the street, I noticed the rather loud noise coming from the hatch area. Kind of like someone was crinkling some cellophane loudly.

The sound continued the entire commute to work (6.5 mi). The sound would stop only when I was stopped.

Prius C :: Loud Noise Coming From Front Windshield Area

I have a noise coming from what seems like the front windshield area. It sounds like when you have a balloon full of air and open a small hole and let it out. That loud squealing noise that it makes is basically exactly the same as the noise I am experiencing.

It happens when I'm going 70mph in high winds or over 80mph without high winds. And when it happens it's constant.

I talked to the dealership and they told me it's fine... mostly because it happens randomly and it's hard to replicate unless you go 90 it always happens but they obviously aren't going to test drive my car going 90mph to find the noise.

Prius (2004-09) :: Knocking Noise Coming From Passenger Wheel Area?

We have an 07 Prius with around 150,000 miles on it.

A couple of weeks ago I noticed a slight knocking noise coming from the passenger front wheel area mainly when I was turning toward the right.

Question.......So when turning to the right, it first seemed to me that the right side would experience a heavier load. However, after further thought and applying some physics the inertia of the car would actually be putting a heavier load on the left side during a right turn. Which is correct?

Just trying to troubleshoot the noise/problem.

#1 when I apply the brakes, the noise doesn't change. I don't think it's brake related.
#2 the noise speeds up with speed, meaning that it's rotational.
#3 The noise does get louder when I am turning right but has know progressed into a constant noise going straight. During a left turn it subsided.
#4 I did take my floor jake and jaked the pass. front wheel up but didn't see anything broken or damaged. I couldn't rotate the tire though.
#5 I also had the tires rotated today and the noise got worse.

Golf IV R32 :: Clicking Sound Coming From Instrument Panel Area

I've noticed this sound coming from the instrument panel area for a while now. It comes and goes, sometimes starts in the middle of driving, sometimes starts right when I start the car. It almost sounds like I have the turn signal on, but that's not it. There isn't much to see - the video is mainly so you can hear the sound.

Prius (2010-12) :: Road / Wind Noise Coming From The Rear Passenger Area

I've owned a 2012 Prius Two for less than a month now, and today while driving home I noticed what sounds like road/wind noise coming from the rear passenger side area. Googling about this revealed information about the battery fan. However, I'm unsure if what I'm hearing is the battery fan or road/wind noise that I just haven't heard before.

Here's information regarding the conditions I was driving in:

- 84 degrees outside temperature

- car had been sitting in an open-air parking lot for about 2 hours

- no tint, no windows cracked for hot air release

- upon returning to the car I turned on the AC to 68, set at mid range speed

- was driving on the interstate doing some stop-and-go, but mostly 50-plus MPH

- windows rolled up completely, no doors ajar

- it sounded like air rushing by

- could not hear anything coming from the left rear side, but my left ear is partially blocked by the headrest, so...

- sound would decrease in volume if car slowed down

- sound would increase in volume as car got faster, but would eventually level out it seemed

- sound would completely go away at speeds below 20ish mph

- sound would not change based on level of AC, whether on, low, high or off

- checked battery vent for obstructions/debris, saw nothing, and was cool to the touch

- car has about 28k miles on it, replaced rear tires yesterday but all bolts, caps, etc. are securely in place
