Faint Honking sound - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I have the honking noise too

Only intermittently though and only when starting from a complete stop. You think the crickets are embarrassing...until you get the goose

I'm at 7k miles and I hadn't noticed it until recently.

any update on this? I'm just now getting this, annoying as all hell

I haven't heard the noise again since I picked it up, so I guess only time will tell at this point whether or not this was truly the problem.

I'll put up a scan of the service ticket when I get home later this evening.

So was the throwout bearing definitely the culprit?

If you are getting the same noise as in the video I linked in my first post, it seems to be the throwout bearing. I haven't had the noise come back since the dealer took the transmission apart, replaced the bearing, and put it all back together.

Mine doesn't honk, it makes a whooosh sound when I shift at 4500-5000 rpm. Might have something to do with my Perrin cold air intake and tune though.

.

That's how mine is too. Only from a stop, when shifting into 2nd or 3rd gear (sometimes both), and only when it's been 40-50 degrees outside. When it has been any colder or any hotter it doesn't make the noise. Normally it's only when you press the clutch in, but I actually had it make the noise when I was letting off the clutch the other day. I HATE THE FUCKING GOOSE.

Oh, and with the warm temps, the crickets are back. But really, the goose is worse.

Ok, so I'm not going crazy.

This is hilarious. The first day I got my brz I noticed this; I thought I had hit the horn when making a turn.

I also had the faint honking sound and this is what my dealership is repairing as well.

What? It's not an electrical problem.. It's a mechanical issue within the bell housing/clutch

Crap, i guess i shouldve read the thread first. I said that because when i first got mine i would honk the horn and it sounded faint. So i took it off sanded at the grounding point then threw it back on so it went away.

I get this sound when the clutch is fully pressed. At around an inch from the floor there is that faint honking like sound. It doesnt always do it but its starting to do it more often now.

Liebot · 04-23-2014, 06:40 PM

Well, my dealership fixed the throwout bearing and replaced the clutch...and still get THE GOOSE.

It's a mystery at this point...more details to follow tomorrow.
