What is the reason for the rustling sound when driving a new PCX?
2 Answers
It's normal for a new car to have some minor noises without running-in. However, if the rustling sound is relatively loud, it should be the sound of the drive chain. Just adjust the rear wheel, and the sound will disappear after driving a few hundred kilometers. The following is a related introduction about the Honda PCX: Introduction: An atypical Honda scooter that breaks the previous development ideas of Honda in the Chinese market. With super high appearance and technological configuration, the PCX is different from others. The addition of the NCS engine adds sporty elements to this car. Appearance: The willow-leaf-shaped dual headlight combination is extremely rare in current domestic scooters, with high originality. The interior has a smoked treatment, which enhances the sense of thickness. The LED light eyebrows are the finishing touch. The LED light effect at night is also very good, eliminating the trouble of later modification.
I recently bought a new car and noticed a rustling sound while driving, as if small stones were stuck in the tire treads. This seems more common during the initial break-in period of a new car. The noise becomes more noticeable on rough roads—once, while driving on a gravel road, the rustling was so loud that I pulled over to check and found many small debris trapped in the deep treads. A simple solution is to use a small tool to clean out the tire grooves. New car tires have softer rubber, which tends to pick up debris more easily, or it could just be normal noise from road particles. However, if this happens frequently, it might indicate minor issues with the suspension or wheel hub, affecting driving stability. For safety, I recommend regularly inspecting the tires and taking the car to the dealership for maintenance during the break-in period—they can handle such minor issues for free and prevent long-term wear that could lead to unstable tire pressure or more serious problems. Making it a habit to remove stones after each car wash is also a smart practice for peace of mind and safety.
