Or full exhaust setup plus a c38 supercharger couldn't hear them even if I had them, my brother can hear my car start from like 5 houses away though

I'm running 93 with 132 miles so far and no lifter or injector ticking.

Your ECU isn't even running closed loop yet. jk


Just sit and idle for a couple minutes after it has warmed up. You'll hear the DI kick in.

I run e85. Sounds like a cricket farm

Inb4 people claim they don't get crickets

I don't get crickets.


No, really. I only run 100% gas, no ethanol. I've put E10 in twice, and it chirped both times.

75,000 miles and never heard a cricket. I honestly don't know what people are talking about. I always use 93 octane regular old E10. Usually Sunoco because they "only" charge 40 cents more than 87 octane.

I have also used E85 also with no crickets.

Guess I'm either lucky or deaf.

Yes! If your injectors are not ticking after warm up there is something wrong with the car.

Do you hear birds chirping when there are no birds around and don't hear birds chirping when they are chirping ........ ?? ........

Just checking ..... when I ask mrs humfrz she responds with ....... I'm not sure ...... because I hear this ringing all the time ........

Maybe I will post a poll ........ a possible correlation between drivers age and hearing car crickets sound........

This is the first time I had heard of this, and I am on the forum since 2012.

Complain to the dealer, I am pretty sure they will tell you they have never heard of it either.

On a related note, I hear the revised 2017 will sound like cicadas.

Mine doesn't have crickets. I've heard them in my friend's BRZ.

Maybe after running high flow injectors on my last car my ears just got used to it and drown out any injector noises.

Also, I remember when I first got my high-flow fuel pump in my GSX - that shit was loud and annoying. After a month I didn't even hear it anymore.
