That's not good, bro. It's become sentient and is now hiding from you.

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

Listened again...aside from the high pitched sounds (that are normal) I can hear a lower pitched ga ga ga ga ga ga sound near the end of the video when the OP moves the camera to the driver's side of the engine.


Is that what you hear?

Yes. It's there the whole time but is more pronounced in the first couple seconds and again after he moves the camera.

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
It's not gas. Just keep an ear out for it and post up another vid if you can get it. We're all subbed.

Push in the clutch pedal and then listen for it

Or more to the point, does it go away?

I hear it too- much lower pitch than the cricket noise.


Does not sound like a bearing knock to me, though.

Sometimes I hear a sort of knocking in mine when it's cold and heating up. I can hear it in my cabin and by the driver side tire. It's been worrying me too....

My DI pump makes a bit of a tapping or light "knocking" noise, always has. It's really obvious as soon as I pop the hood, but I can hear it inside the car too. When the car is cold I can't hear it, but as it warms up it'll start making the noise. No issues in 16k miles and some track time :iono:

Hello @GT86girl541 and welcome to ......The Club ...... :clap:

My take is that if you start worrying about all the "strange" sounds the FA20 engine makes ...... you're gonna wear out a lot of worry beads.

I suggest you just put premium gas in the car, have the regular maintenance done and enjoy driving it ........ :)

If you have MT and the noise goes away when the clutch is depressed, then I believe it's normal. I have that noise too. It got much louder after I had the transmission oil changed.

Thanks guys! Yeah I noticed the whole no worrying thing when I started hearing the cricket sound and replaced it only to find it would only return lol luckily the boyfriend works at toyota. It's good to know mines not the only one !
