What Causes the Clear Metallic Clanking Sound in a Car?
1 Answers
The reasons for a car producing a clear metallic clanking sound are: Loose or detached underbody panels; Fractured ceramic filter element inside the catalytic converter, where broken ceramic pieces continuously collide with the metal housing of the converter during vehicle movement, resulting in various metallic knocking and dragging sounds; Brake disc rubbing, where the brake pads remain in contact with the brake disc even when fully released, causing continuous friction while driving. A car is a non-rail vehicle powered by an engine, equipped with four or more wheels, primarily used for transporting passengers and/or goods, towing vehicles carrying passengers and/or goods, and for special purposes.
