Looking for some help with a weird noise before I end up having to take it to the dealer. Appears to be coming from below the front passenger and driver footwell. Sounds like a busted speaker (Radio is off). More prominent at 40-50mph. Car runs smoothly, and idles smoothly. The noise is not present at idle at all. Makes me think it is something with the suspension but I can push down on the car in the driveway and it is silent. Everything underneath is tight.

Any suggestions on what to look for? Thanks.

 

Would need a little bit more detail on the noise. If you could upload a video of it would help narrow it down

 

Here is a couple.

Could water be in the exhaust? Just guessing.

 

It sounds like some of the plastic paneling below is flapping around when you increase the wind speed under your car. Of course when you look under it, everything probably looks fine. Would put the car up on jackstands or a lift and inspect the bottom. Perhaps take a video underneath it at speed to see if somethings flopping around. Doesn’t sound mechanical but could be wrong

 

hold your hand against the airbag cover that's right below the glove box door and see if it doesn't stop

 

I checked every panel under the car. Nothing is lose. Is there anything on the driveshaft that would cause this? Like a balancer or stabilizer that could go bad? Can't really see the driveshaft because of the heat shields.

 

Could it be the Guibo (Flex Disc) ? I can feel it at take off as well. Comes and goes depending on speed. Nothing at idle.

Car only has 126k. I doubt this has ever been replaced.

 

Sounds like the wheel of fortune noise that requires a new transmission mount to resolve.

 

Any recommendations. RR Racing Road & Track or Kein?

 

Honestly, would go OEM trans mount for overall NVH….

 

I had the Kein in for about a week. Way too noisy unless you like to hear gear clash inside the cabin. I'm not a fan at all, and sold the Kein I had.

 

Ordered OEM. Fingers crossed that's the issue. Thanks.

 

Trans mount wasn't the fix and it is actually worse now. It is really loud at idle not even moving. In Park and N it goes away. Under a load it is very bad. I'm thinking its something with the exhaust. Taking it all off tomorrow to see it that changes anything.

 

You're sure your engine mounts are good?

 

I did look at them while under the car they look to be in good shape as well.
