Faint Honking sound
 

Just starting to notice a faint Honking sound comming from my engine bay (I think) when accelerating from a stop at around 4.5/5k consistently. Sounds like a car horn almost. It's pretty quiet.

When I was at Toyota of Tacoma getting an oil change the service lady there was very well informed on all the recalls and TSB's for this car. She said that she had a customer with an FRS that honked when she shifted (m/t). It was the first I had heard of this but apparently it's real. However, she said there's simply not enough instances of it occurring, there is not TSB for it, in fact they have no idea why it's occurring.

Visit your dealer, have them drive the car.

Is it this: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19308

yep its definitely that noise... doesn't seem to be a solution for it yet. thanks

I had noticed the faint honking sound during acceleration once or twice when the weather was warm. Now I get it every day. Any updates on this? I can live with this goose and the crickets as long as I know it is not causing any damage to the engine. I really don't want to take my car to the dealer (ever).

I have this issue intermittently. So far nothing has fallen off the car...

Popping, crickets, honking...is there a sound these cars dont effng make lol.

Yes! A goose!

It makes me laugh. :)

Nobody at the dealership is touching my goose, either.

I had the "honking" noise for awhile, probably between 1000-3000 miles or so (I don't remember exactly). I'm at about 7000 miles now and it doesn't seem to make that noise anymore. It's definitely clutch related.

Possibly just a funny wear in noise on the master cylinder or clutch linkage is my bet.

Edit: Then again, could be temperature related. I'll have to see now that we've had a cold front come through.

I have my FR-S in the shop today for the same exact problem. Same noise as in http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...05&postcount=4 .

Funny thing is, I was able to get the noise while parked, gear in neutral, and the clutch pressed all the way in and revving to 3k RPM - not just while driving or accelerating /shrug.

Just wanted to post back here with what the dealership found. After 5 days in the shop with the transmission disassembled they replaced the throwout bearing (iirc in the service ticket it was labeled as a release bearing actually) because it was "slightly deformed".

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.

I get goose honk / car horn sounds sometimes when shifting

bump

I have a goose under my hood now too. 29k miles. Manifested itself on a road trip through the Siskiyou mountains when it was 15F outside (very cold). Now it does around it around town sometimes.

It is definitely when the clutch is being engaged/disengaged in my situation.

I'm going to make an appt for after the 1st of the year to have it looked at. I was hoping it was something like the hydraulic valve or clutch delay valve but the throw out bearing? Damn. That sucks.

Lol.. I too get the faint horn honking sound as the clutch is being released..
Not all the time.. But it's there.. Doesn't feel or sound like anything is malfunctioning.. Just another weird ass noise from this weird ass little car..
I'm used to noisy sports cars.. And I don't mind hearing and feeling all the "feedback" this car has to offer... but this thing makes more strange ass noises than all my other cars put together.. :iono:
