So there is no other way for me to describe this. When my car is in gear moving along, or even out of gear with the clutch in at a stop light, I hear this really annoying sound that sounds like a bunch of crickets under my hood. HAHA, sorry but it really does sound like crickets, the faster I drive the faster the sound gets. It is not my intake, I am a aware of what that sounds like, and its not a loose belt or anything. It is definitely a rotational sound though... Any ideas before I take it in and get jacked off by the dealership? Thanks!

 

bump anyone?

 

I have a similar weird noise. However, Mine is coming from the Passenger side rear of my car.

However mine only does it when I am moving.

The faster I go the faster the sound gets. It sounds like a bunch of really quick ticking noises. I can hear it inside the car when the windows are all rolled up and when I roll them down it's even louder.

haha

 

yeah if its what i think it is it's the valve.. rockers... i think.. not sure but yeah the exhaust valves have a large clearence and make the noise.. i'm not 100% sure on this so if i'm wrong pls correct me.

 

so, i figured out that it is the transmission. when the clutch is pushed in, no matter how far, the high pitched squeal/ticking/crickets goes away. could it be a throw out bearing? anyone?

 

I just had the throwout bearing replaced among other things because it rusted (^.-) could be it.

 

my intake makes a definatly whistling noise in teh 2-4k rpm range, but above that it goes away

 

i replaced my tensionator 2 months ago because of that ticking noise it was on passenger side... let the dealer check it... oh yea they replaced also my water pump

warranty

 

I better take it in before everything starts to break on it I guess....I dunno if I can stand to drive a Yaris for a week!
