I have been hearing a strange buzzing or static like noise in the background of my car. I am posting a video on here. What it is.
You will hear the noise in the background. [URL] .....
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).
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.
View 2 RepliesNoticed 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.
View 14 RepliesExperiencing 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.
View 6 Replies2013 Camry SE: I am experiencing some buzzing/static noise coming from the rear deck. It happens randomly on rough pavements. I know it is not the license plates because I removed the entire plate off and drove around the block and I can still hear this noise.
View 1 RepliesWhen I'm driving with Windows up and audio off I can hear this hollow road noise, static buzzing sound from my back right side.
View 11 RepliesI'm trying to decrease the amount of background noise using Bluetooth phone calls.
First question is, how do I get to the microphone?
Second question is, do you think these would work?

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 ...
View 5 RepliesI 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.
Recently I notice, even if I have the fan OFF, I can still hear some white noise, sounds like the fan is ON. I don't feel any air circulating in the car. Once i turn off the car, the noise is gone. Where does the noise come from? Radiator fan?
View 5 RepliesIts been really really hot lately here in SoCal and i noticed something weird. When my car is running with the AC ON I notice this vibration/buzzing from the car. I feel it on the brake and accelerator pedals too. It doesn't happen all the time but its pretty often. I can feel it more when im stopped at a red light. Is this normal?
View 5 RepliesVehicle is 1998 F150 with 194k. The battery is 1 1/2 yrs old and belts and alternator are original.
Yesterday morning my VHF and dog tracking eqipment started humming with the truck running. The hum on the tracking eqpt. only happened when I pointed the antennae over the direction of the hood with truck running. When I shut truck off everything is normal. Later in the day the battery light came on. The battery light would go off if I kept it over 2400 rpm's. The charge on the dash was normal but as I got closr to home last night it dropped to almost nothing and the lights were very dim.
I am thinking alternator. What I am confused about is the humming noise in the background. The tracking eqpt. is completely separate from the truck while the VHF is direct to the battery with an iline fuse. Bad voltage regulator?
I'm trying to figure out this noise I'm hearing whenever I accelerate. I can't tell if it's the turbo or something else. It doesn't have the smooth turbo spool sound like my mk4 GTI so I'm wondering if something is wrong or this is just how the car is....
It sounds like some kind of air induction but a little clangy at the same time. I'd try to record it but I don't think my iphone would pick it up.
When the car is in neutral or in gear at a standstill there's a noise right around 1000rpm that sounds like a serious rattle or knocking. It sounds as if the car is puttering out. So essentially, I give it gas to around 2000 and then take my foot off and on its way back to idle it will putter at 1000rpm.
If the clutch is fully depressed or fully disengaged the noise is no different. I haven't noticed the noise in any other situation other than when the car is stationary but it's still a very disconcerting noise and likely just being drowned out by other noises when moving.
Does this sound like something engine related or could it be DMF chatter? Could I possibly pick up on an issue by running tests or logging with VAGCOM?
Some background on the car:
-Modified with APR Turboback and Stage 1/2 file 1.3 (the noise is present with and without tune file)
-I run 93 only
-Most miles are highway miles, currently sitting at 23k miles
-I don't notice any issues with shifting, albeit some slipping when tuned in 6th gear (no slipping when using stock file)
The R has 48K miles on it. The other day i realized after driving it, a choppy noise coming from almost directly under the spark plugs. As the car was cooling down while still on the noise stopped for a few seconds and then started again. Any clue of what this might be?
View 2 RepliesSo as I was driving my R32 home today, and as I came to a stop, it let out a crazy groan/noise.. It continued even as I was stopped. At first I thought it was the brakes just making noise since it was raining. The pitch of the sound was much different than a brake squeal too..
The only thing I can think of is I parked overnight under a carport, which that and the driveway is a decently steep grade.. Maybe its e-brake related? However I just changed my e brake cables.
The car drives great still. I drove 60 miles then it made that noise. Also I checked on a dirt road to see if my haldex was still working.
So for the past few months my car was making a strange noise under my car, it turned out it was the dogbone bolt that stretches to the bottom part of the transmission. Some how it got loose and was literally hitting my transmission. So we tried bolting it back on and won't screw which was kind of scary it had some type of play. Do I have to get a new 02m for a little ass bolt, do I weld it, or is there a subframe piece I can buy to replace the Broken part of the transmission.

Just bought a '15 Golf TSI S/sunroof with the 5MT (night blue, for the curious). Anyway, I've been getting a strange noise that was not present on the test drives, but that I first heard driving home from the dealer about a week ago. Since then it has happened intermittently, and not reliably enough that I've brought it back to inquire about. It is hard to describe, but sounds something like a whir and whine together. Typically it starts when I am in gear -- 4th, usually, though I can't figure why that would matter -- and then take my foot off the gas. If, however, I put the clutch in or put my foot back on the gas, it won't stop right away. It does stop when the car comes to a full stop. I'm beginning to suspect that it happens more when the car and/or the day is very hot. The times I've heard it most often, it has been over 90* outside, and the car has been driven for at least about 10 minutes.
I drove around for 25 minutes this morning and it finally did it, so I hit the sound recorder on my iPad. For reference, this morning it was about 81* out.
Here's a video link to it. It occurs at the 1:13 mark, if you want to skip ahead, but it's pretty faint over the background hum. The sound is clearer on the actual recording when I play it back on my iPad. [URL]........................................
So most noticeable is when i go into reverse. Initially it makes a loud clunking noise until the car begins moving then it stops ( sounds to come from right under the middle of the car, middle/front). Nothing like this in 1st from a slow start. But Another different noise between first and second when accelerating hard.
As I go to shift from first to second there's another louder clunk in between shifts. It almost sounds as if my seat wasn't bolted down tight and was moving. But definitely coming from under the car again, same spot...I just had a 42DD downpipe installed.
Canadian 2012 golf R. Build date 02/2012. 8500km ... Clutch sounds and feels weird since the beginning. But few weeks ago I started to hear a strange noise when parking in reverse. When stopped, clutch pressed, reverse engaged, then slip the clutch to move slowly and I'm hearing a buuuuuu noise for 2 or 3 seconds then stop.
When stopped, no gear, clutch pressed for few seconds then release : clac and like a grinding noise. Press clutch again, after maybe 1 second, the grinding stops. Also when driving normally at low speed, I notice the clutch is very noisy, looks like same grinding noise.
When I let the clutch slip a little bit to start moving from a stop, I feel a vibration. not only in the pedal but also in the car. The passenger can feel that.
Here is two quick videos ...
You will notice the "buuuuuuu" noise and also the grinding.
