Name that Noise!

[Enzo731]

Well, I've been starting to get this noise now every time I drive about 10+ miles. You can hear it when I start to rev between 1k to 1.5k rpm.

To hear the noise thanks to my wonderful blackberry and because I was alone, you'll have to turn up the speaker volume and everything to the maximum to hear this noise.

Sounds like a rattle, or a knock.. Not really sure. Here's the link

Thanks for any input.

Input about me taking another video of this noise is much appreciated as well

OMG RODBEARINGS.


I honestly don't hear much in that video....does it sound like its coming from under the hood? You may have to make a video from the engine bay if it is.

I can't really hear it the video but you might want to check the torque on your main crank pully bolt. Mine back off on my 94 mtx once and it was a weird rattle.... Don't drive it until you check it. I think the torque is like a 130lbs but check the forum. I am sure there is a post about it.

Oooo......ooooooo


It's a Yamahammer right??



Ditto on trying to get a vid from under the hood.

Thanks guys for the input. I've been hearing this sound for about a month now, and well I've still been driving and sometimes drive it hard.

I will have to continue this thread by posting a much clearer and more soundful video.

Just an update from today, I got the car warmed up and I tried to mimic the noise that I made in the video that is posted. Turns out if I rev the car in neutral, it will not make any noise at all.

But if i engage the clutch, it will make the noise in the video...Could it be a noisy throw-out bearing?

Ok so I have a better video, got a bit closer to the sound, hope this helps.

throwout bearing if its coming from the driver side. Does it it make the same noise when in gear or just in neutral?:. If the noise is coming from the passenger side, it could be the main crank bolt needs torqued as I mentioned before.

So far it does this when going into gear as well as neutral when the car is warmed up quite a bit and driven around. If it's left out for quite a bit without being driven it won't make this noise.

It sounds as if it's coming from both sides, it can be heard from both sides I think.
