Ladies and gentlemen, take a deep breath... Some people are trying too hard to find something wrong in the car and are reporting things that are normal (vibrations, sounds). I am of the group that thinks that for example, the cricket noise is an unintended consequence of the DI, not anything that will affect reliability,driveability,longevity of this car. (I might be wrong, but that's what I am sensing from all of these threads)

In the age we live in right now, car manufacturers spend a LOT of R&D time and money, trying to make the ride as smooth as possible, removing the "feel" from the drive (removing the noises and vibrations away from the driver). THIS car that we bought is a sportscar. It was designed and intended to let the driver know and feel those sounds and vibrations, and that is a good thing.

NOW, this car is not perfect nor are the companies that made it so obviously, some cars will have defects and warranty repairs will be made. I am by no means trying to say that all cars are perfect and have no problems.

But please STOP trying so hard to find all of those defects and enjoy the damn car. When REAL issues arise, take it to the dealer and get it taken care of.
FR-S and BRZ have both been verified by the techs that worked and designed the engine that the cricket chirps is not intentional and something is wrong.


On another note, CU2MIKE was cleaning my car and a cricket literally jumped out of the soap and died - I would have been ecstatic and cracking up if that was the chirping noise rofl!
