I have the weirdest noise coming from the passenger side rear of the car (I think). Over certain bumps there is a chirping noise. It almost sounds electrical but I dont believe it can be because it only happens over larger/quick bumps. Has anyone had this before? I just took out my interior trim, including where the rear speaker is, etc and looked for any metal on metal. I put some padding and rubber bumpers back there but have yet to take it for a drive.

**Im very sure I have narrowed it down to the right rear shock tower area and the only thing I can think of is the speaker. I might take the trip piece out and head for a drive to see if the noise disappears - if not, I'm heading to the blasted dealer...


Also, kind of off topic, but I get a similar weird beeping sound from the drivers seat (coming from the driver speak possibly?) very intermittently. The sound it gives off is like something out of Hollywood when they show a bomb ready to blow up - the lights blink and the thing beeps a bunch then BOOOM. It is like that!

Has anyone noticed any of these issues? TIA

i have a chirping/clicking noise coming from the rear passenger side as well. i THINK it's coming from the rubber plug thing at the hatch... it's a little loose and makes a clicking noise when i open the rear hatch and wiggle it. i would compare it to the one on the left, which doesn't make any noise when i wiggle. it's worth checking out...

Are you referring to the little black rubber bump stop on the passenger side of the hatch? I will check mine out...Thanks.

yup! seems to make a noise when i wiggle the right plug... coming from the base. i think when we go over bumps, that loose piece is making the noise. the left/driver side doesnt make a sound when i wiggle it. i only hear the noise on the right/passenger side so it might be it
