Manual
around 9k miles

it started making weird noise today
anyone know what's wrong with it?

it happened when i was on the street, all of sudden i was hearing annoying clicking sound and i thought it was from the car in front of me but it was coming from the engine

edit

I don't have any specific gas station preference, i go to which ever one is closest
and i always use the highest octane rating they offer

the sound actually went away when I was trying to record from cabin

edit

this is the cabin sound, you can hear it around 11 and 30 second mark
around 20second mark i gave it a gas

That high pitch sound, the one that sounds like crickets? Ahhh, you join the club of many many owners with that noise. Don't worry, its only the high pressure fuel pump, its a common noise with heaps of cars, no problems with them at all :)

really? it's pretty loud and obnoxious lol

Yeah it definitely is, not much you can honestly do about it. Mine hasnt gotten it yet (touch wood it doesnt) but its nothing to worry about. Have a look at the list of issues thread, ill see if i can find it, and its filed under there.

Then the third heading down is the "Cricket Noise" which you seem to have

inside the cabin, the noise doesn't sound like cricket at all though
it sounds like constant knocking sound, pretty dull knocking sound

sounds normal!

It's subtle but I hear it in your vid. Can you take one from inside the cabin? What happens when you gun the engine?

Not normal. Guys, go back and listen for the low frequency knock, almost a thud thud thud...

They usually come out more in the summer time.

Have you changed type or brand of gas lately .. ??

Maybe filled up with 87 octane?
But yeah I hear that knock along with crickets.

I listened to it loud that it hurts my ears, but I still didn't hear the low frequency knocking sound.

Do you notice it only when the car is idling? Is it constant? Does it happen when the engine is cold or hot? Does the noise change when you depress the clutch? Does the noise stay and the frequency goes up if you rev the engine slowly higher? Just asking a bunch of questions in case any of these rings someone.

I can hear that thud sound with headphones on loud volume setting.

Never have heard that particular sound before.


May sound weird but play on loud with headphones and close your eyes, focusing on just listening. You'll hear it.

the sound actually went away when i tried to take the video from cabin

also i always use the premium, the highest octane rating they offer

most recently i filled it up at 7-11, i think they only offered 91 or something?



this happened when I was driving home, when i was at the red light i heard some knocking noise
