Prius (Gen 2) :: While Driving In D, Noise Can Be Heard
Jan 11, 2016
2005 Prius. 190k miles. In San Diego, so hot summers...not Phoenix hot...90s. Mild winters. No san or salt on roads.
5k oil and filter regularly. Got new HV battery at 142k. Changed the coolant switching valve done . Coolant pump changed under Recall. Steering midshaft done. Front pads replaced at 120k. Rear shoes getting very close to replacement. Trans fluid change at 120k per manual and at 190k. Plugs at 120k.
Two new issues: when coasting in N, pretty quiet. Driving or coasting in D, there is a growl. At 35-40 mph, wind noise masks it. Frequency increases with speed. It isn't getting worse. And no better after the transaxle fluid change. Can't be CV or bearings because it only happens when in motion in D. No lights on MFD. I have not looked for codes.

My '13 Prius Four has started to make a really annoying buzzing sound from the rear while driving. It can be heard inside the car but seems to be louder for passengers in the rear.

Tonight while driving I heard a rattling noise under the engine, come to a stop and the engine cuts off. I pop the hood, get a jump and nothing. So I check the oil and it is dry... I changed it 4 months ago myself, it is a mystery how it leaked. No light came on, no oil leaks anywhere..
Is there any hope in having the engine turn over again? If so how should I go about trying to turn it? Engine only has 61000 miles on it.

How to remove the center console? Like that area by the shifter and rectangular spot before it? I am wanting to add some felt or something to stop all the creaks I hear while driving.

I have scanned my car with no faults codes on VCDS, basic adaptation setting have been done on the gearbox and i have let it run in and adapt but im still getting this noise.
Im certain it is Dsg related, With the windows down you can hear it as i pull away in 1st gear, It does not make the noise in 2nd or any other gears. If i move the dsg shifter from P to D or from N to D even R it slightly makes the pulling off kind of sound which is my concern.
My flywheel was recently changed, Clutch packs looked healthy and the DSG fluid/filter were also changed at the same time. I have uploaded a video of the noise which is in the link below. When i took the video the car was simply left in P idling but it still made this sound intermittently like it does each time my car pulls off.
The noise can be replicated each time i pull off in D when the gear selection is in 1st. This is strange as simply left in park it was also making this noise when no gears are being engaged.
I dont have any of the previous flywheel symptoms which were vibration at idle in park and the constant rotational flywheel knocking sound that was there previously. This sound can always be replicated when i pull off.

Heard a warble/screech/grind in Touareg at temperatures of 15 degrees or below. This sound only occurs when the vehicle is cold, the temperature is below 15 F degrees, and you are decelerating from less than 30 mph or so. Doesn't matter if you are braking or not.

I just got home tonight from work and was rolling up the windows and I heard a pop noise and my window fell inside the door. So after some time I got the panel off to the metal plate and took out the two rubber circles pieces and I can see that the front track had a broken plastic clip, after I touched it, it fell inside the door. So after looking into this it seems to be common. So where can I get a replacement piece and how do I install it. I can't seem to get the metal panel off, does it even need to come off or do I install the clip through the little circle hole.

I have a 2007 Camry SE V6. Under moderate to hard acceleration, it sounds like a deep throaty sound coming from where the intake/throttle body is located, almost as if I have a SRI, but I do not. I checked for anything loose, hoses, airbox, etc. Then checked the intake resonator below and to the left of the battery, all seemed normal. Everything seems normal! Only happens when I push the accelerator a little more than usual, for example, when I go on the highway.

Just started the other day. Ecuador codes at p030p035p0411. The noise only happens while accelerating past 10% throttle in any gear.

I have a 97 F150 4.6l, and this morning I noticed a noise that sounds like air sucking in. You hear it mostly at idle, the truck is idling where it typically does, but occasionally it will "bog" down a bit for a couple seconds, but then keeps running normally. Anyways the noise seems to be coming from the lower drivers side. Under the dash/steering column, and around the front drivers wheel well. Could it be a vacuum leak? The truck does have lean codes. I'm not sure if this is relevant but if I'm at a stop and I release the brake to accelerate the noise will stop for a split second once the pedal is released....

So, my 2012 Prius has 61,000 miles and I started hearing some terrible squealing from my rear brakes. This weekend, I decided to take the tires off and investigate. Turns out, that my rear pads were worn to metal.
I switched the pads with new ones. The rotor was still new and didn't need replacing. Torqued the caliper bolt to 25ft/lb and put it back together. However at the end, I forgot to put back on the two wire clips take keep the brake pads apart!
Do I need to put these clips on? I'm too lazy to take my tires off again.
Lesson learned: Turn clockwise and PUSH the rear piston at the same time to get it to go back in. Turning it alone does nothing.

When I open the drivers side door I hear a mechanical noise like the seat is moving back or sideview mirrors are adjusting, you know that kind of grindy electric mechanical sound. But I don't see anything moving, just hear a motor working? What is moving or supposed to be moving? I have a 2012 2.5L SEL no memory seats.

I have a 2010 LS460 AWD with 42k miles and notice when I am making a medium to wide angle turn at parking lot speeds the front wheels make an intermittent metallic clicking/ticking noise that can be clearly heard when the windows are down and stereo is off. The noise can be heard when turning in either direction, driving forward or in reverse, and both accelerating and slowing down. Doesn't seem to happen when I'm turning the steering wheel while the car is stationary. Dealer suspects noise is due to dry contact areas between pads, calipers, and anti rattle springs and wants to perform a brake service for $330 before they're willing to investigate further (car still under warranty till end of the year). If noise is brake-related shouldn't it only occur when I'm applying the brakes? What should I do?

I have a slight squeak noise that is only heard at idle some of the time. I replaced the belt, idler, and tensioner when I noticed just spinning the alternator gives the sound I'm hearing. Is it something I should be concerned about? It isn't noisy all the time, only sometimes. I don't want to fix what isn't broken, but I don't want it to leave me stranded one day either.

When I shut my driver's door there is a reverberating sound similar to a spring being stretched and then plucked. It closes fine, the window works, and all the functions of the door work. It closes tight. It just has this hollow spring sound right after I close the door. None of the other doors make this sound.
I was at the local Toyota Dealer today for work on the prius (check my other thread about that trip) and I found a gen II prius unlocked... so I got in and closed the door and no spring sound. It sounded just like my other 3 doors... so something must be up with my door. My car is a 2006 Prius with JBL package.

I'm a newbie so still getting used to my 2012 Prius III. The other day while stopped at a red light I decided to run out and open the trunk for my work badge that I left in my briefcase. It's a long light and I knew I'd have plenty of time. I put the car in Park and put on the parking brake then ran out. When returning the light was still red, so I put the car in Drive and waited. After it turned green I hit the gas gently but noticed the car did not move.
The car behind me hit his horn, so I hit the gas harder and the ICE kicked in and started moving the car a few feet. That's when I realized the parking brake was on and released it. Since then I'm noticing a whistle noise when I drive slow. It seems to be there when driving in EV and with the ICE running. It's not the noise maker but a higher pitch noise. Could I have done something to MG1 and MG2 when I hit the gas harder to move the car. It sounds like an electric motor high pitch sound. It may have been their before but I didn't notice it until now.

Experienced a brake squeal noise on their car when they first drive it? After a while it seems to go away? The sound is similar to a low brake indicator squeal but not as loud. I hear it on my drivers front wheel.

I have a 2002 Prius. It hasn't been well maintained over the last year and a half, and I had been hearing more and more ambient noise while driving. I thought it was because the tires were wearing out. Well, in the last month I finally got caught up on maintenance (oil change, some new filters, etc.) and got a new set of tires; however, the excessive noise is still there. It becomes noticeable at about 25 mph, and gets louder and higher in pitch as speed increases; there's a noticeable vibration as well from about 45-50 mph.
I don't think it's engine related; the noise happens whether I'm accelerating or just coasting.

2012 Prius V w/24k miles. Have experienced a noise while driving. (best I can describe it is like when moving a straw up and down through the lid on a styrofoam cup). It is intermittent. Have discussed this with the dealer service department at least three times. One tech drove with me said he found a bad front strut which was replaced. It took some time but noise returned. I can hear it when others can't and can feel it through the floor board. It may be muted but also so loud my wife says it sounds like something is going to fall off. Does it at slow speeds across parking lots on smooth surfaces or on road on smooth and rough surfaces in any kind of weather conditions. Will be taking it in for 25k service soon but what to look for.
