I'm gonna guess one of your mounts. Transmission mount perhaps or RMM. When its cold, the parts have contracted, fit tighter, rub, squeak...just my $.02

 

So very strange as I had this exact same noise yesterday for the first time, but when the engine compartment warmed up it disappeared, maybe 5-10 min. First time car has seen temps <32F.
It only happened while accelerating very slowly, and only at a low rpm point. I even got it to reproduce at one point in 2nd gear, clutch completely out, getting on/off the gas ever so lightly at probably less than 1500 rpm.
If I engaged the clutch at 1k+ rpm firm, seemed to be less prominent until the heat made it disappear completely.
So I also threw it up to just some random noise and not going to spend time going to a dealership.

 

If you do decide to head to your dealer on this, please let me know so I can look into some options.

Check your airbox mounts, they can make all kind of funny noise when it's cold. Move airbox around, see if you can reproduce the sound.

 

ah good call as I've just removed my sound symposer with a delete kit....I will check...this morning don,t know why I did'nt get the noise ..but I will try for sure..thank you

 

Its a mount most likely. Mine does it anytime i give it a blip of throttle in 1-2-3 or when i shift.

 

I have this same issue I do not know what it is sounds like something slipping

 

Hi sparksontheplastic,

Have you spoken with your dealer on this? Please let me know, along with your year and mileage.

I also have the same issue! It's really annoying. I was going to wait to go to the dealer until I'm ready to do the wiring harness recall and have them look at it while I'm there.

 

Hey Guys,

This sounds like the same problem my car has, and I've been able to fix it with a simple (somewhat ghetto) fix. If you open your hood and put your hand against the intake pipe, like right where the accordion section is coming off from the airbox. Give that section a little downward whack with the palm of your hand and listen to see if it makes the noise you've been hearing. I bet it will. The noise comes from the front-most airbox mounting point. What you have to do is take off the airbox lid, remove the filter, and then pull back the little rubber shroud that holds the little snorkel tubes that run from the airbox into the grill. Then you have to yank those two tubes out, and you'll be able to see and access the front-most mount point right under there. If you give it a pull straight up, it should pop out of the mount. The little peg that fits into the rubber grommet rubs and makes that annoying squeak whenever the engine rocks backward on load. What I did was I took a piece of thin fabric across the hole and pushed the airbox back down into the grommet, and that has taken care of the noise. Just have to make sure to put it back if you take the airbox out for any reason. I would go take pics, but my car is in the shop right now.

 

I will try it as soons as the weather is better....It's raining every fu...g day

 

definitely is the airbox mount, like a little mouse hiding in your engine bay.

 

Hi, The strange noise I had was from the air box...it moves a little when I start the engine or when I shift.... I have a block heater so I put the plug between the airbox and the battery box and VOILA no noise anymore.

Thank you guys for your help especially OneMeanFocus who gave me a nice clue

 

Glad to read your issues have been resolved, Q822! Don't hesitate to reach out should you need anything down the road.

Mine is making the same noise. I'm worried if I take it to the dealer to try to get them to look at it'll end up being a gigantic waste of time and they won't be able to find or do anything. Has anyone had success going to the dealer?

 

Do like I do and give them as much detail as possible. A lot of people have found a certain "nipple" under the airbox (I believe) to be the cause of this problem. Once that is taped or lubed up, the issue goes away.

 

My car was doing this and when I had the TSB for the wire harass done they fixed it by lubing the air box connections when they put it back together. They then said they couldn't reproduce the sound but explained they did the TSB first so that may have fixed it. More than a month later and with some very cold weather the Isis hasn't returned.

I had the same problem on my '15 ST. I went to the dealer and they have changed the driver side engine mount. Problem is now solved.

 

Also check your shifter cables. They have a habit of squeeking where the exit the cabin and enter the engine bay when cold.

 

I find it very hard to believe that this issue you guys are describing is caused by airbox/mount rattle. I know my mount is bad but just could not come to terms with it. I am also getting the noise but thought it was more dangerous than what was described here (scared my pants off everytime i hear the sound). Few weeks ago I bought new mount just sitting in the car cause i couldn't connect the noise with it.

I will check this solution and report back.

 

Hi @ricki! Sorry to revive this thread, but you never reported back and wondered if you maybe figured out what your solution was.

Thanks!
