What Causes the Abnormal Noise Inside the Civic When Accelerating?
2 Answers
The causes of abnormal noise inside the car while driving include noise from the glove box and noise from the transmission mechanism. The specific details are as follows: Noise from the Glove Box: This could be due to scattered items inside the glove box or loose wires from aftermarket electronic devices. Items stored haphazardly in compartments, the glove box, or even the nose pads of sunglasses in the glasses holder can produce noise. Noise from the Transmission Mechanism: This is mainly related to the transmission mechanism, such as tires, CV joints, etc. The cause can be identified by lifting the car at a repair shop. The noise persists whether at low or high speeds, and its frequency increases with speed. If the motor pulley has been replaced or if it hasn't been replaced after exceeding 80,000 kilometers, the issue is likely caused by the pulley. It's advisable to have the motor pulley checked at a repair shop, as it may be aged or a recently installed substandard part.
Recently, I also encountered an abnormal noise when accelerating in my Civic, which sounds like plastic rubbing near the center console. It could be due to loose interior trim, especially aging or deformed plastic panels around the air vents or dashboard; or vibrations transmitted from the suspension system. It's recommended to first check the glove compartment and items under the seats, removing any objects that might be causing impact. If it's a persistent squeaking sound, it might be due to loose body structure seams—try temporarily securing them with double-sided tape. Regularly avoid bumpy roads and schedule periodic inspections at the 4S shop to check the suspension rubber buffers. Don't overlook such minor issues; addressing them early can prevent bigger problems. Safe driving is crucial—if you hear abnormal noises, slow down and observe, avoiding distractions while accelerating.
