Ford Excursion :: Bird Chirping Sound Coming From Under The Truck


Jul 7, 2013

I went out to our driveway (just a couple of hours ago) where my Ex was parked and I heard some bird chirping coming from under the truck. I looked at the Ex and I saw these 4 little birds right under the rear axle flapping around on the driveway. I immediately picked them up and ran inside the house and handed them over to my wife.

I went back outside and looked the underside of the Ex to see where the birds came from. Here's where they nested just above the rear axle.

Here they are after getting feed by my wife with some pureed meat (per google) since we really did not know what to feed them. They ate like crazy even had some bowel movement after 10 -15 minutes. We tried calling the local Animal Control but they are close on Sundays. We will try again tomorrow and for the mean time we'll try to keep these guys warm, fed and comfy. Per research they need to eat every 15 -30 minutes.

That's their actual nest I pulled out from the truck. I wonder how long have these birds been living inside the Ex? You see the Ex gets driven only on weekends sometimes longer.

Engines - Gti - Volkswagen - Noises :: Bird Like Chirping Sound Coming From The Rear Of Car

I hear a strange UFO like, bird like chirping noise coming from the rear of the car. The chirps increase and decrease in frequency but with no regularity and do not match engine rpm or vehicle speed. It will do it at idle or highway speed but gradually disappears. It comes and it goes when it wants to.

Nissan - Sentra :: 2012 - Bird Chirping Or Electronic Noise Coming From Dash

I drive a used 2012 Nissan Sentra that I purchased six months ago. Today is the first time I've ever had problems with it. I was driving down the road this afternoon and it started making a noise that's very hard to describe. It sounds like it's coming from the dash and is comparable to birds chirping or a computer-like/electronic noise. It kind of sounds like R2D2 hijacked my car! It also started making a scraping like sound from the back wheel. I thought I was dragging something under my car, but there was nothing there when I checked. When I started it again later, there was a squeak when I backed up that was either underneath or the rear right wheel side. The sounds only occur when the car is moving.

Lexus GX 2004-09 :: Squeak That Sounded Like A Bird Chirping Coming From Dashboard Windshield Area

For close to 6 months I drove around with a squeak that sounded like a bird chirping coming from my dashboard windshield area. I tried listening everywhere while driving and could never pinpoint the squeak that was driving me crazy. For whatever reason, I adjusted the rubber bumper stops for the hood and the chirp went away. I had to post this just in case there were others with the annoying squeak.

Ford Excursion :: 2001 - Front End Chirping With Sound

I have a 2001 Excursion 4x4 with 35" tires and 139,5000 miles on the clock. After driving about 20 miles yesterday while running errands, I heard a "chirping" noise. Since I had just left a stoplight, I first blamed it on the Jeep Grand Cherokee leaving the light with me. It wasn't long before I realized the noise was coming from the Ex. I noticed the sound around 40 to 45 mph and while keeping the truck fairly straight. I caught some video/audio but didn't see where I could upload it.

The ball joints have greasible zerks so I know there are not OEM but, other than that, I don't know when/if the wheel bearings or sealed units have been replaced. Recommendations? Is it a good idea to go ahead and replace bearings, sealed wheel bearing assemblies, and seals to have a reference point and prevent damage or failure?

Ford Excursion :: Belt Chirping Sound For A Second With Hard Acceleration

So, my "new to me" 04 Excursion makes a belt chirping sound for a second with hard acceleration, usually 2nd gear, not always, but should I be concerned, I can't tell if it's the transmission, it does NOT appear to be slipping. I googled the scenario and people are mentioning a tensioner or belt that should be replaced.

Ford 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel :: Chirping Coming From Under Truck When Decelerating With Tow / Haul Engaged

Title says it all. Chirping sounds almost like belt noise but appears to be coming underneath the vehicle (and from further back than the drivers seat). Goes away as soon as I turn off tow haul (which provides engine braking). A quick visual inspection finds nothing amiss. Trucks runs and drives normally with or without tow haul.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Squealing Almost Chirping Noise Coming From The Rear Of Truck

So When driving around I'm hearing this squealing almost chirping noise and it sounds like its coming from the rear of the Truck. I greased the bushings and leafs but that didn't fix it, to me it sounds like a rotating noise. Don't think it's the brakes cause it makes the noise when driving not stop.

Also, a bad alternator would make noise while driving over 40+mph, like a loud whistle?

Dodge - Dakota :: Chirping Noise Upon Acceleration From Stop Coming From Under Truck Bed

I have an 87 longbed Dakota that I bought new. It's my work truck. Lately it has developed a chirping noise that I hear best with the rear slider window open. I think it is safe to say that it is not coming from under the hood. When I accelerate from a stop the chirping noise increases in pitch and frequency. The frequency does not change when the auto trans up shifts. There has been no noticeable out-of-the-ordinary vibrations, even at freeway speeds.

I have stopped driving on the freeway since the chirping became impossible to ignore. The chirping becomes less and less audible the faster I go as the pitch and frequency increases. When just starting from a dead stop, it sounds like a metallic scraping noise. Whenever I take my foot off the gas the chirping stops, even when still coasting, so it only occurs under load. It does not occur when the truck is stopped and the engine is revved.

Honda - Accord :: 2004 Coupe EX V4 - Chirping Sound Coming From Under The Hood

I have a 2004 Honda Accord Coupe EX V4, there is this chirping sound coming from under the hood it sounds like its coming from the section in front of the driver s seat. I hear it when I apply the breaks or even if I am just driving normally but once I put the car in park I don t hear anything. It sounds like birds chirping and sometimes it sounds for a little bit other times it is consistent. So it basically sounds if I am driving, braking, at a red light but it doesn't really sound when I put it in park. I assumed it was the driving belt but that's located towards the front of the hood on the passenger side maybe I am hearing it wrong but to me it sounds like its coming from the driver s front section area of the front hood. I literally just bought this used car with 80k mileage.

Subaru - Forester :: Chirping Sound Coming From Around The Slave Piston Assembly

My girlfriend has a 2001 Subaru Forester. She just had a new clutch installed. When she got it back there is a chirping sound coming from around the slave piston assembly. The mechanic has worked on it several times and he can't figure out what is causing the noise. I can make the chirping start or stop by moving the fork on back of the slave piston but can't figure out why it is making this noise?

Ford Excursion :: Sound Like A Card In Bicycle Spoke Coming From The Right Rear

A couple of weeks ago I heard what sounded like a loose heat shield, coming from under the Ex. It went away, but then came back a few days ago. I got underneath and looked at all the welds on heat shields and for anything that seemed loose, I found nothing. Yesterday it started sounding like a card in bicycle spokes, coming from the right rear. This afternoon I pulled the wheel off along with the brake caliper and disc. What I found was that one of the springs on the parking brake shoes had broke and has been ground up in the drum. I didn't take any pictures, but thought if others hear that sound it's something you may want to check.

Ford Excursion :: Clunking Sound Coming From The Rear When Stop And Takeoff

I have a clunking sound coming from the rear of my X when I stop and take off. The sound does not happen until the vehicle has been driven for a few miles. After it has been driven, I will get one clunk when I stop. When I take off I will get one clunk as the vehicle starts to accelerate, and another clunk as I give it a little more gas. What could be the cause of this? I do not get the sound when I shift from park to drive, or drive to reverse.

Ford Excursion :: 2002 - Small Clunk Sound Coming From Rear End?

I was running a small errand today, about 10 miles round trip. When I started out, I heard a small 'clunk' sound coming from the rearend. When I was on the return trip and making my last stop, the 'clunk' sound had become quite louder as I accelerated, and could really feel it. When I got home, I took a look and was expecting to see maybe a sway bar link detached or the bushing worn.

I did not expect to see two lug nuts completely gone, including the stud, as well as the holes in the rim no longer round. Big gouges in the rim around the remaining lug nuts, about to be sheared off! The other side had two missing lug nuts, however, the rim is still intact. What would cause such horrific damage? I am lucky that I was not driving on the freeway at 80 mph! This is my 2002 Excursion 4x4.

Ford Excursion :: Knocking Sound Coming From Front Driver Side

We've noticed an audible knocking that sounds to be coming from the front drivers side. It only happens at speed (over 30) and doesn't seem to be engine related. I can feel it under my resting foot while driving. I know this is vague but I think it may be enough to get started on figuring this out.

Ford 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel :: Strange Squeal Sound Coming From Under The Hood Only When Truck Is Cold

06 6.0L 205k
EGR, cat, and muffler delete
IPR replaced roughly 10k miles ago
New oil cooler roughly 15k ago
Replaced turbo Y up pipe 15k ago
Replaced radiator, idler pulley, and serp belt roughly 50k ago

I've got a strange squeal sound coming from under the hood only when truck is cold? It sounds like a bearing and after it gets heated up the sound stops. I talked with a guy thats a cummins guy and he said he had a similar issue and he had to replace the bearing in the turbo? Also when truck is warm it will still do it, like for instance, if I run in a store and truck idles for 5-10 mins it will do it only if I romp on it for a short while like 2-3 mins then again goes away. And if I'm idling or in neutral, hot/cold, it does not do it, it seems to be only under a load. Pull a 26 foot boat no problems.
