It's a mystery at this point...more details to follow tomorrow.

Any more details on this? Mine is doing it at 18000 miles and it's making me crazy! I always think someone is honking at me.

Well, I had it replaced again, still have the honking noise.

Just picked up a Certified Pre-Owned 2013 BRZ Premium. Having this exact issue...thought I was getting honked at my whole ride home. I have 22k miles on it.

Will this cause any damage besides being annoying? I get the noise from time to time, figured it was just another quirk in this car's personality. And I'd rather not have my dealership take it apart if I don't need to...

Monogram, don't suppose you have any paperwork or write-up from the repair, do you? I'd love to go to the dealer armed with some decent information rather than let them rip everything apart to find their own fix.

Thanks!

Appreciate the advice. I'll probably show them this thread when I go in...I've only had the car for four days and am already sick of it.

Honk!

Mine started making this noise when the weather got cooler. First time I heard it I thought it was my horn honking. Usually happens when shifting from 2-3. After playing around with the timing on the throttle and clutch, the noise doesn't happen if I completely lift off of the throttle before depressing the clutch. I wonder if there is some lag with the electronic throttle allowing a little bit of rev when releasing the clutch and timing the throttle like normal. This slight rev causing the sound. But I could be completely wrong.

Sounds exactly like what I'm experiencing, Ozzman. I see it a bit from 1st-2nd too but more so from 2nd-3rd.

Complained about this, they replaced the spring clip. Went away for the whole of two weeks, now it's back again.

Thunderfox, going to go back?

Supposedly the clutch's. Will be taking it in for more diags on Thursday and will update.

Ozzman · 11-11-2014, 09:51 PM

Ya wanna explain how exactly it's making that noise and why it seems to be dependent on throttle position vs how you actuate the clutch.

thunderfox · 11-13-2014, 01:58 PM

Update: 11/13/14. Subaru just told me there's nothing wrong with it and I should wait until they collect more evidence. I drove with the tech and he even heard it but it's "not enough evidence" to do anything about it.

I'm seriously regretting purchasing this car. With crickets, popping, honking, body panels not lining up. Seriously, fuck all this.
