Squirrel noise >1K RPM, Video attached
 
1 Attachment(s)
I have develop what I'd call a squirrel noise within the past two weeks. It is clearly audible at between 1K RPMs and idle. It is best heard within the cabin. I have attached a video, it was recorded with my iPhone and the volume needs to be turned up to in order to hear it, so the sound will be a bit distorted. I'm going to be scheduling a appointment with the dealer but I'm looking for any other information if possible. Is this related to the crickets?

I own a squirrel and it doesn't make any sort of sound even close to that. Sounded normal to me??

It was the closest relationship I could come up with. It alot louder than the chirp at idle. Seemed reason enough to have it further investigated.

My first assumption is the fuel pump.

I would assume fuel pump as well. Very similar to what I called woodpeckers and it made the sound at a similar rate. New fuel pump fixed mine, so far.

Same sound occur few days ago. I would assume its from the fuel pump too.

I have the same issue with mine also haha. I just tell myself, it must be the flux capacitor xD

I'm also hearing this exact thing in mine, along with intermittent crickets. No fuel pump replacement yet, coming up on 10k miles. If the threads floating around are true, it may finally be time to get it replaced.
