The buzzing noise you mentioned in your title might be the different issue.
There is a quick fix for that issue that you might want to try.

As for the popping/ticking noise of the rear deck, there is no quick fix or DIY fix that I know of.
You might be able to have your dealer fix it by referencing TAS# 122230369.

is this tapping constant for you all or just a once in a while thing. I have a tap noise i hear coming from the back seat somewhere a lot. its random tho. prolly gonna have to add this TAS# to the list of other things im gonna have them check out.

I don't know from what point it's considered constant or random, but mine is anywhere from once every 5 minutes to 10 times in 30 seconds. I don't see any pattern of when and how it happens more often or more rarely. During my 30 minutes commute (12.5 miles), it makes the noise about 40 times.

Anyone have a pic of the actual repair done?

I have the repair done (only one in US to my knowledge) and a pic would be nearly impossible considering I'd have to tear apart my trunk to get the image you're looking for.

Sorry

Mine's in the shop as I write this. And to all the Scooby owners complaining about their Outback and Forester loaner cars, I'd gladly trade you for mine...

Would you describe the symptoms as the sound of road debris hitting in the wheel well or under the back of the car. I get this pinging, ticking sound constantly and thought maybe I had dirt flying out of my tires and hitting the underside of the car somehow, but it seems to happen way too much for that.

That probably is the noise caused by the issue of this thread. If it's road debris, then a single debri could hit the wheel well more than once. But this noise is always once at a time. If it's road debris, then it shouldn't happen when going at 5 mph in a parking lot, but this noise happens even at 5 mph. I described the noise as pop/click/tap/tick, but it could also be described as ping/snap.

Well I would say I have it then. Developed around 2k miles. Pretty annoying, but it is not constant yet.

hyper4mance · 08-28-2012, 04:37 PM

I just started to notice this issue on a roadtrip to indy (yes a lot of intimate time with my baby). Started (or I just noticed this issue) at around 3500 miles and still happens now 5k+ miles.

irxproductions · 08-28-2012, 07:48 PM

I got my car back from the dealer today. So far, the news is not good.

Issue #1: Daytime Running Light delete (turn off the DRLs)
There does seem to be consistency to @Hawaiian's unfortunate experience being locked out by the new ECU (Thread: BEWARE DRL TSB). Though the dealer and field rep didn't reference anything specific about the lockout issue, there is no ETA on when the new ECU might arrive (though they did order one for me).

Issue #2: Air Conditioning Chirp (A/C chirps every 15-20 sec. while car is in motion)
Toyota is aware of this issue and is currently collecting information to develop a fix. At the moment, there is no ETA on when/if this fix will happen.

Issue #3: Speaker Buzz from Passenger Side with Bass
I was informed that it is normal for the door panels to buzz when there are songs with bass. I will be working on a "fix" of my own with Dynamat or one of its related brethren.

Issue #4: The tapping from the rear deck
I saved the best for last (or did I?). At first, the dealer gave me everybody's favorite response from a dealer when you have a noise issue:could not duplicate concern at this time. I drove down to the dealer, was able to immediately replicate the noise, and took the shop foreman around with me who was able to pinpoint the noise to the rear of the vehicle. He told me that they would do some research and attempt a repair when I brought it back in for the ECU installation later.

AND THEN I GOT HOME....

I parked the car in my garage, and, now, I am a victim of THE CHIRP. This is not the A/C chirp, this is worse than that - this is a consistent, constant, very pronounced chirp that occurs the entire time the car is at idle.

The definition of "irony": having your car develop a new issue while it's at the dealer trying to be repaired.

In case you're not familiar with this chirp issue, check out this thread: Engine idle chirping (cricket) noise poll.

Holy sweet mother of all that is wrong with the world, this noise is unbelievable (particularly in an enclosed space like my garage)!

Current Status:

#1 - I left a voicemail with my dealer informing them of this ALL-NEW issue plus letting them know that the shop foreman was able to hear the noise.

#2 - My Scion HQ Case Manager is out today, but tomorrow he will be calling and I'll be giving him an update.

#3 - I intend to schedule another appointment with my dealer to have them repair the deck tapping and this new ungodly chirp from Hell. I will not be waiting for the new ECU to arrive before they attempt to fix these issues.

I wish I found this fun.

Well, I sent Subaru an email of this issue and referenced the TAS number as a fix. They stated to bring it into the dealer to get it checked out. Only problem, I don't like bringing it to the dealer I bought it from, since last time I brought it in for a check engine light and it was merely a fuze problem. They drove it pretty hard dropping my avg mpg by 0.7 mpg with 1/3 tank left over 7 miles. Obviously I wasn't very happy on their joyride and complained to the service manager. Does anyone know if I can bring it to another local suby dealer to have it looked at and fixed?

You can go to any dealer you want. Just for reference, who's the dealer you're talking about so I can avoid them?
