Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Static / Buzzing Noise Noticeable When Cold Outside

I have a new 2014 RX350, and around the 500 mile mark I began hearing a faint static/buzzing noise that is definitely noticeable when it is very cold outside. It seems to be related to the braking system (i.e. when you press and release the brake pedal), but I have heard it when I'm just driving and not touching the brake pedal. It almost sounds like the car's electronics are going through a self-check, but it is audible. Took my RX to the dealer and they said that the noise is "normal" and that all third generation RX's have that noise - something to do with the brake pedal modulation? All I know is that it is annoying, especially when everything else is so quiet when you drive without the radio on and the fan speed turned down. Definitely disappointing in any car but especially a Lexus.

Camry 2012+ :: Buzzing / Static Noise Coming From Rear Passenger Side Of 2013 SE?

Could the tail lights be the results of some buzzing/static noise coming from my rear passenger side? I hear this noise when I'm on rough surfaces and it sounds like it's coming from over my right shoulder. It's a faint noise and I can only hear it when the audio is off. 2013 Camry SE ...

Gti - Volkswagen :: 2003 - Back Right Side Of Car Making A Rattling Static Noise

So I have a Volkswagen GTI (2003). A while ago i had to replace the radio/stereo (but not the speakers).

Now one or both of the speakers (I'm not sure which it is. I can't tell from the drivers seat) in the back right side of the car make a rattling static noise. its fairly loud and it makes the sound whether i have the music turned up or not. and it doesn't constantly make the sound -- its irregular but frequent. Changing the volume doesn't seem to effect it, like i said it rattles whether i have the volume up or on zero. however the sound stops completely when i turn the stereo off and when the car is not moving.

When the sound started i had been listening to the music pretty loud (though certainly not as loud as i'd ever had it). i was also driving...um...over the speed limit...on a bumpy country road.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: 2012 RX350 - Road Noise Transmitted Back Into Cabin When Driving On Rough Road Surface

My 2012 RX350 now for over a year and like it a lot.........BUT.

There's seems to be a lot "road noise" that's transmitted back into the cabin, like driving over expansion joints on blacktop or rough road surface, is this normal?

I drove a 2000 RX300 for 100,000 miles and don't remember it being this noisy. Interior noise is great and quiet.

Prius (2010-12) :: Subtle Vibration Like Buzzing - Excessive Road Feel

Bought a brand new 2012 Prius in California - Power Toyota in Irvine. It was heavily raining so did not test drive. Package 3. Next day noticed that there was excessive road feel and buzzing like vibration.

Took the car in and they noticed it too. Changed Goodyears to Yokohoma, checked suspension and tire pressure. Issue did not go away. It is subtle but constant.

Dealership said there is nothing wrong with the car and every car drives differently. Offered to change car with me taking a hit of 5000 dollars.

It is like driving on a stone like rough surface with a buzz like vibration.

Camry 2012+ :: Buzzing / Static On Driver Side Front Door

I am a new Camry owner. I am very pleased with the vehicle so far, but I've noticed a strange buzzing/static sound coming from my driver's side front door.

I checked to see if anything was in the storage compartment on the doors (all of them in fact) but I saw nothing in there. I turned off the stereo system and I double checked that all the windows were closed, yet the sound persisted for about 5 minutes. This has happened intermittently for several days now, and seems to happen whenever I go over some rough surfaces.

Tiguan :: 2009 - Buzzing Static Noise From All Speakers When Car Is Off And On?

Our 2009 SEL is equipped with the RNS-510 but no bluetooth. This is an early US model. Upon leaving for work yesterday and a few moments after openning the door to get inside the car, a buzzing static noise started playing from all of the speakers. Imagine white noise with a bee hive and that is the sound. The noise started before we put the key in the ignition. The noise stopped momentarily as we cranked the starter, but continued afterward. Turning on the RNS510 resulted in muffled sound like music inside a can on top of the static. Turning the unit on/off didn't change anything. Turning the motor on/off did nothing to change anything.

For the 20 minute drive to work the noise continued. My wife parked the car and the sound continued as she went into work. At the end of the day, upon returning to the vehicle the noise was gone and has not come back.

This is the second time in about 2 years this has happened. I scanned for codes and didn't get any. We have an iPhone video of it (not sure how to post that) to share at the next service. Currently the vehicle has 37,000 miles (relatively trouble free).

Camry 2012+ :: V6 SE With JBL - Slight Noise / Buzzing Or Static From Speakers?

Noticed buzzing or slight static noises from the speakers? I have the '12 Camry V6 SE with JBL. Typically I can put the volume up and you do hear it, but if on a very low volume or even if the system is off I feel as if I'm hearing some kind of static or very low pitch noises coming from the speakers.

Experiencing static noise coming from their 2013 Camry SE rear passenger speakers? The noise comes and goes. It depends on the road and the distance. I've had someone sit back there and it sounds like metal grinding or rubbing against each other. The noise is faint but can get annoying.

Golf/GTI VI :: Hollow Sounding Knocking / Whirring Noise From Left Side

My car has ~2500km on it now and I've noticed a whirring / knocking noise from the left side of the car Mk6 GTI. It's not loud (in fact, hardly audible at times) but it's there. It's most noticeable when I am driving slowly (~30km/h) at low rpms (1500rpm).

It's only when the car is in motion that I can hear the noise. I revved the engine in neutral and could not re-produce the noise.

I've tried adjusting the tire pressure but that didn't seem to work. It was at 38 psi and now at 40 psi. No diff in the noise level.

It sounds like a knocking (like two plastic tubes hitting each other) /whirring noise but I cannot pinpoint the source...or whether it's even under the car or the engine...but it's definitely the left side.

Prius (2010-12) :: Whirring Or Buzzing Noise After Shutdown

I have a 2010 IV and after driving for an extended period and then shutting the car off I get a loud noise about a minute or a little more after shutdown. The best I can describe it is that it sounds like someone is dropping a 3 pound dead chicken from about 10 feet up onto my hood. It is consistent and is not any of the whirring or buzzing noises I normally hear. I also have a 2009 Touring and have never heard anything like this.

Prius (2010-12) :: Buzzing Fan Noise Coming From Engine Bay At Startup

My 2010 Prius V just past the 24000km mark. I have a buzzing noise coming from the engine bay during startup. It happens when the interior fan is on. You can hear it clearly after you start the car, during the silence of the "boot up", before the ICE kicks in. I can't be sure if it continues to buzz after that because the sound of the ICE drowns it out. However, If I shut off the fan during the boot up, the buzz disappears. Finally, if I leave the fan off and start the car, there is no buzz.

During a recent oil change, a hybrid technician claims that this is normal. It used to happen infrequently but now it is consistent, so if it was normal, I should have heard it when the car was new.

Prius (2004-09) :: Hollow Plastic Ka-klunk Noise When Driving From Park To Reverse

Just bought a new to me 2009 prius with 50k. Love the car thus far, and am learning more and more about the hybrid stuff.

One question i do have, that the dealer didnt explain well, was the planetary transmission. specifically the noises.

Its pretty quiet, but from a cold start, and into reverse, its the really odd noise. It sounds kind of like im backing a front plastic lower air damn off the curb. Like the hard, hollow plastic ka-klunk. it never does it from park to drive, or after a while of driving from park to reverse.

Prius (2010-12) :: Road / Wind Noise Above 60 Miles An Hour

We have had our 2010 with 20k miles for about 3 weeks now. I can honestly say that I can't remember being more disappointed in car. Specifically, the road and wind noise above 60 miles an hour can at times be unbearable. The Prius makes the inside of my 14 year old BMW sound like a Lexus.

I thought it might be the tires since the originals were worn. We had an unrepairable leak in one tire so we went ahead and put brand new Michelins on the car. There was only a minor improvement in noise.

Lexus GX 2004-09 :: Buzzing Sound Behind Driver Side Back Wheel

I have been noticing a noise from the driver side back wheel. Like a buzzing sound. Is this normal? The reason why I am asking is I received the car like that and I do not know if something is wrong or is just normal operation. The noise can be heard while the car is parked so i do not thing it has anything to do with breaks or such.
