finally one of these "car noise" videos that has examples!

Finally someone who actually gives samples...thanks to this vidéo I can conclude that my car is completely messed up xD

Thanks for actually playing examples of the noises. Drives me nuts when channels upload videos about noises and never play the noises as if we're supposed to know exactly what they mean just by their basic descriptions

I'm uncomfortable with how many of these I can tick off my bingo card before my car is back on the road.

man this is legit one of the best videos ive ever watched explaining the engine

The only useful engine noise video on KZfaq i have watched. Thank you man

Well done video. I think one of the hardest to do things is to describe a sound to a mechanic. Especially for intermittent issues it definitely helps to provide better adjectives the mechanic can understand. Or for sound of mind to the driver an off sound might be normal

One of the most useful car maintenance clips . Very well narrated. Subscribed.

Best Explanation video on KZfaq about noises from Vehicle, Huge respect to you Sir, Love from India

Thank you for including the actual noises in the video. Now I know what to be on the lookout for 😅

You're the best. No one has clearly explained this issue except you.

Thanks for the comprehensive video. Listening to many different noises really helped me to diagnose the noise of my car. I've been searching KZfaq videos for a few hours to no avail but I think I found the answer thanks to your video.

Bearing wise, if you end up taking a belt off, always see if you can test a pulley by seeing if it wobbles if you pull it back and forth. That’s another good way to confirm what bearing is going out.

Glad I found this channel, you deserve a heck of a following for the quality of your videos. I just viewed your 4 year old video on diagnosing suspension noise. Extremely informative. I am replacing struts on '13 Taurus, Deciding if its worth taking a chance on quick struts. Again thanks for your help

Very good video. A million thank you

The best video I have ever watched about car noises and beyond. Good job Sir!👍🏻

Your examples and your details have helped me determine that I likely have a bearing going out. Thank you!

Great and informative video. I dont even have the problems in your videos, but i find that i learn a lot from you and your pacing and explanation is very thorough and clear.

Very informative video. Much appreciated. Rn I’m not sure if it’s my belt or bearing. I noticed a squeal noise only when accelerating, but with the AC on it’s practically gone. Thanks again. 👍🏽

Also one of useful detailed video, thanks

Very helping your summary,thank you for your time .

Excellent! I have a steady knock on my 2005 Toyota Highlander a week after an oil change and adding Seafoam to the gas. I am not driving it since this started.

Awesome stuff

Thank u very for an excellent video explanation

GREAT INFORMATION, EVEN FOR ME, SOMEONE WHO KNOWS NEXT TO NOTHING ABOUT CARS

BEST video I've found on this, thank you!

Epic video. Keep it up. You have helped many of us! Thanks.

really helpful

the best direct info so far

Similar to 2nd whining noise, I get a metal noise at 3,000 rpm while driving/under load. It goes away when it shifts gear. Someone said it is a race in the transmission ('05 CRV) but not serious...it sure sounds concerning. Any idea what it could be? Thank you for your time!

Nice summary of typical engine noises - really enjoy your concise, plain English explanations. Great channel!

Thanks man. This is really good information for a budding mechanic. Got a new subscriber here.

You sir won a subscriber today. You are an excellent teacher and your videos are excellent resources! Thank you from India.

This video is so informative compared to many many others! Thanks for posting!

This video is great and super helpful. Saved to reference later. Great job!

This is very very helpful. Thank you very much. Cheers from Holland.

Great and such informative video. Great work 💪

Now this video is the BEST! This made my diagnoses ez. Thank you

Most helpful video I ever seen on cars

Awesome video. Thank you! I got me some bad bearings somewhere

Excellent and to the point👍

Very helpfull video👍...i identifyed my noise on my golf mk3 2 liter gti 8v, in the noise type One , the lifter! The noise come out at warm engine, now i try to switch the oil from 10-40 to 10-60 for test, i Hope that work!🙏

how long the sounds starts how old the car will be? is it good use to habit to clean under hood?

I echo the sentiments of others, it l this was a great video. Thank you for including the issue, SOUNDS and possible fixes(diy or pro). My current sound was not listed but I subscribed to your channel so i can stay informed.

Thanks bro very helpful video 👍👍

sir this was very helpful.ty

thank you, my engine died yesterday and is making #2 noise .. I had suspicions but this video confirmed my rods are broken.

also how to adjust the serpentine belt? on honda hrv if u have replace it new?

What about a sound like hummming and or electric power sound on a Jaguar xk that does have a old cracked belt and front suspension?

Thanks man, helped me alot !!

Great idea for video, I would love to have more example sounds in such formula.

Thanks ❤ this was very helpful.

Excellent timestamps. My current guess is on my having a bad bearing. I'm not at the stage where I can attempt a fix myself, but the more I know the safer it will be to get the car to someone who can fix it.

What if the ticking is relatively quiet? And can only be heard when the engine is idling?

Excellent video 👍

Thanks so much

hi love the vid. can you help. i have a deep rumble sound a can only hear in the car. its not loud an you need a good ear to hear it. its at idle an when driving. its doent get louder or faster with engine speed. many thanks

Very good information

Thank you

I be hearing a lifter ticking near the bottom of my car! Not sure what that could be!

Thanks. But i didnt see anything about a whining noise. My cadillac is now whining when accelerating. Thot it was tires and checked but no. Any ideas?

Thank you for this video. My 5.7 hemi sounds exactly like your example at 3:00 . Definitely a rod bearing?

Mate I just subbed nice videos!

Nice video

Very helpful video

This is an anwesome video !! I knew most of them since they happened to me 😅.

What about a loose engine mount? My car has a deep rattle on uneven road

Great video loved it. My 24 year old corolla automatic makes a beautiful Wrrrr,wrrr,wrrrr, when running through the gears, sounds great, the only problem is that it wasn't doing that before 6 months ago !!

Hello I’m gamage, the hissing sound come when ac on my car what with the matter you think.

Thank you for the video! Mine seems close to the ticking sound. I am still observing it and planing on posting it. Would you be willing to take a look? It seems to be close to the ticking sound. What I've noticed is that when the engine is cold (starting after a night in a garage) the noise is not there. After driving a while it is there on idle. I need to observe more if it comes on after certain speed or after certain gear.

Thanks!

Superb Video George U.K.

Loud Cricket sound, after replace of new power st pump, and new belt on econoline, how 2 adjust

can u make video on how to change belt tensioner and serpentine belt on hodna hrv ?2020

I think I have a bad bearing. Thank you this video is a great service to society.

Does ur steering deal with your suspension?

This was wonderful. Your very easy to understand, to the point and bturg but efficient. Thank you so much.

Once he got to my part i was praying to God for easy and cheap fix 😢

Man… one day I had a knock come into my engine and it wasn’t good and I knew it wasn’t as soon as I heard the noises … I was like oh my god no,… so I stopped what I was doing and I went straight home …. I got ahold of my mechanic IMMEDIATELY ! if you ever have that knocking either example 1 or 2 … your engine is fucked and WILL require high maintenance to be conducted for repairs … :(. I was so upset and just knew it was going to need some fixing up done to her :(. I have a 1998 Chevy blazer LT with a 4.3L•V6 Vortec •. It costed almost 300 something for labor but luckily it wasn’t much more than that :) I was fine and she came out good after , but I had Example #2 For the knocking of the engine sounds sample … man it sucked and she was out of my hands for nearly a month : but engine work and maintenance is complex and requires a lot of equipment needs , Time , Patience and even parts ordering ! Which can also take time before anything can be done to begin with … I know this because I once worked on vehicles with a crew back In Colorado ! It can take weeks to months for even some parts ! Especially on older vehicles to arrive … So when people say : “ it’s hard to find parts for older vehicles .” Not really :/ you can find them easily but the cost is going to be higher because for one , if you look at how older vehicle parts are manufactured , they are manufactured out of harder , heavier metals , Irons , Steels , etc etc …. So thus it being more expensive … think about how much it costs to make with the metals and the amount of them they have to use and mold and form and stamp and etc etc etc ….it’s alot of money because the metals ore of higher grades ! I looked up a brand new engine for my blazer which one day I will replace , the transmission as well , everything on it will be gutted and restored ! Even the interior carpets ! All the whole truck is almost 26 years old … I’m a year older than my truck …And all I can spread as far as advice goes to anyone , is DO NOT buy an older vehicle ( preferably no more than 25 years form the current year we are in). So no less than a 1999 I say this because after that 10 Year mark, prices begins to rise on parts and maintenance , so on and so forth , anyway ! Thanks for reading and I hope this can at least help anyone looking to purchase , own , or finance on a vehicle :) thank you and my name is Bryan btw !

Appreciate your videos 💯🫡 I'm having some issues with my car 2004 Mazda 6s and it's like ticking with a weird sound, when I park it stops and when I drive out it starts again I play around with the ac and heating it kinda stops. I'm still having that problem not sure what it is.

This is the only video i found with the same excact noise my car is making finally. In the example 2 of knocking, how should i go about getting it fixed?

Thank you for this wonderful informative video. Is it possible, I could send you the recorded noise from my Audi TT 2914 (65 k miles, 1.8 TFSI). It intermittently makes noise like "ugh ugh ugh" (I maybe not describing it correctly) then goes away! Any help?

The example 1 can I fix that by just adding oil?

Hey are you on Maui by chance? Have an e91 wagon that had a crank/nostart but now is nocrank/nostart.

My 2013 Explorer has like an overdrive noise, or a high gear noise, when driving over 45-50 mph. What do you think it could be causing that? Thanks

Could number 1 be accompanied by lack of power also?

What's the before noise when the engine seizes up!?

What about misfires causing a rattling as well? Along with a flashing light. That’s what I got from google. Could it be from spark plugs to catalytic converters?

Is it possible for the pinging noise to happen once I release the gas pedal? I have a similar noise but not sure if it's pinging because I only get it when I let off the gas. I also thought it might be the timing chain as it sounds like the chain momentarily has some slack and is clacking around briefly. Also not sure if a timing chain issue would be constant or could it occur like how I meanitoned?

My car Honda i-Dsi engine only makes noise of knocking when it's in gear and under acceleration but perfect and smooth at idle condition. What could be the reason?

My car is making a knocking /raddling as we speak and I did wait a good minute before I got my oil change but my dad did keep oil in there until I got my oil change but I still don’t know what it is

I have a turbo sound when i accelerate. But the thind is my car doesn t have turbo?!! What is it help

Im getting a ticking sound only if i drive and the engine is warm, what could couse this?

I need your help. I own a 2022 GLC 300 Mercedes. I took it in two weeks ago for a schedule A service. After the vehicle was serviced, I noticed a low growling sound coming from the engine bay whenever I would sit at a light, drive forward or backwards at low speed with the AC on. The sound isn't heard at higher speeds. I took it back to the dealership and they couldn't figure it out which is EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING. The car is fairly new with less 10K miles on it. Could you possibly know what this is?

Could the engine oil pump cause the knocking sound

Is the pinging/preignition thing associated with backfire and random loss of acceleration? I've got a frequent but random rattling and "marble" sound happening and have lost acceleration power twice going uphill.

I have a scion xa 05 , I’m hearing a very loud rattling sound when it’s in idle or 25 mph ! Don’t hear it when going 30 or over ! I’m thinking it’s the water pump ?any ideas ?? Thank you ♥️

i think i have to change my crankshaft bearings ... ...all of them to be exact .....but the knocking sound comes from the first piston it seems .....but will change all ..Main and Big ends ..

I know I should get my car checked out and most likely I will, but, I just wanted to see here on KZfaq what might be causing this strange sound that I am hearing lately when I am driving and even after I parked it still lingers somewhat. I describe it as kind a raspy vibration, and I can smell a hint of something heated. It seems to happen about after 20-30 mins of driving, especially, up hilly areas.
