Guys
Before I call and make an appointment at my dealer I was wondering if any of you have ever experienced this problem before.
Basically when I am driving around 35mph and higher I hear like a ringing bell sound very low not loud but loud enought to become annoying. It sounds like its def coming from the front of the car. The car has about 9,500 miles.

P.S I did have the shimmy problem but that was fixed when they balanced my tires and put "many" weights around the rim.

Do any of you have any clues to what this may be?

Thanks,

Did you change out your grill?

 

No, I did not do any mods yet all I did was window tinting, I still have my stock grill.

 

has anyone else confirmed this so called "ringing"

j/k new one to me.

 

no 'ringing' on my max...is it like jingle bells?

 

i got that ringing noise too... took it to the dealer thinking it was the heat shield.. they sed its not the heat shield.. and the couldnt find the problem.. and its getting louder.. im thinking its a piece of the catalyst in the cat thats making the noise

 

I have a similar problem. I get a low rattling noise i think is coming from the rear of the car whenever i go over small bumps. i scheduled an appointment at the dealer today. I will keep you posted.

 

I don't know if this is like what I had, but I had a high pitched rattle/ring noise, but mine was more RPM and load related than speed. At first I thought it was speed though. Turns out one of the brackets that hold the exhaust was cracked causing it. Actually the eye hole that the bolt goes through was broken in half. Quite interesting, probably something I hit, but thankfully my dealer removed the part and said they would order another one under warranty.

 

Just a update, the noise happens at all speeds it does get louder at 35mph+.

I made a appointment at my dealer for Thursday.

Ill keep you updated and let you all know.

 

I just got back from the dealer. They stated the rattling noise in the rear is due to bad rear shocks & bushings which they have to special order. I'll keep you updated, hopefully within the next two week.


Dealer replaced rear Abdorber Kit Part # 56210-7Y027

Feels Great

 

My noise is def coming from the front of the car its a kinda squekey noise as well.

 

i am new, and my nglish is very basic, but hre w go
i have a question may be somebody can help
this is not a noise, is the same bell that sounds when you let on the lights an open your door, but it start to sound at 80 mph and not stop until you get under that speed, what is happening, whats wrong with the car.

 

bumping thread form the dead.. niiice

 

slow down maybe that will help. Not sure of any legal speed limits posted of 80 mph.

 

Where are you from? I remember when I was in Okinawa all the cars had a chime limiter at about 120kmph, which is the equivalent of 75MPH, maybe now the chime is at 80MPH, as my time there goes back 17 years or so. You'd have to remove the audible chime device, or at least disconnect it, however it may be part of the door chime as well...Ideally you'd want to disconnect what's sending signal from the speed-o...

 

Wait lets get back to the original post a bit. You have an 04 wiht 9,500 miles?
DAMNNNN!!!

In other news, never heard of the ringing you talk about, but will look into it on my end. Good luck

 

Thread was started in Feb 2005...

 

is the ringing even still there... after like 4 years....

 

hahahah i did not even see that, that is funny as hell.
and Holy old thread back to life bat man, lol

 

Thanks for your post, i am from Uruguay (the little country in south america betwen Brazil and Argentina), i supose that is a speed advertisement but i do not have the owners manual, so i thinked that it could be set with the cruise controls, that is why i posted the question. so i must to continue looking for a solution.
