Rear end chirp.

[Ldub]

Any thoughts on where I might start?

Noises are tough, & sometimes aren't coming from the area you think.

Put a few wraps of duct tape around the loop that engages the hood latch, latch the hood, then take it for a test drive.

It's an easy test, & could be the culprit.

Since "chirp" was in the title, it makes me thinks hood latch, suspension usually sounds like a squeak to me.

Sounds like gas to me...
Beano works well.

LOL


Seriously though... I have that same squeak. Annoying and embarrassing. Here I go driving around my residential area, cool exhaust note at 2500 RPM, go around a bend... hit a bump and SQUEAK SQUEAK!

Am I the only one with a 13 yr. old's mind?

Since I resemble that remark so closely, I would answer: NO...

I agree with others that noises can be hard to locate. Are you 100% sure it's coming from outside? My back seat chirped over bumps (went away when I folded/rolled it forward) and now an interior body panel in the back chirps (fastener has slipped out of the hole and it's rubbing against the sheet metal like a needle on a record.)

Me too. I immediately thought of this.

That's awesome! LOL

I just giggle when reading the current thread titles:

Thumping while going uphill...
Rear end noise when coming to a stop...
Rear end chirp...

Wait.... trying to grow up...


Darn. Failed.

I tried this technique and it works. It solved a vexing problem. I am grateful for the advice.
