What to Do About Strange Noises in the Car?

[RachelLynn]

First, identify the source of the noise. If you're unsure where it's coming from, systematically check possible causes. Common reasons for strange noises inside the car include: 1. Interior items: Objects in storage compartments, glove box, or wires from aftermarket electronic devices may produce knocking sounds, sometimes reflected through the roof. 2. Seatbelt noise: Many people don't properly stow the passenger seatbelt buckle after use, causing the metal buckle to hit the B-pillar. Simply stopping to adjust the passenger seatbelt can eliminate this noise. 3. Window noise: This often occurs when multiple small cards are stuck in the window. If not removed promptly, these advertising cards may require door disassembly for removal - time-consuming and frustrating. Always clear small ads from your car before driving. 4. Trunk noise: The trunk is typically the messiest area with various items, making noise inevitable. Organizing and decluttering the trunk contents usually solves this issue.
