What he said. Obviously, it wasn't that loud when you bought the car, but idk how it gets louder or how to make it quieter.

I can hear mine, but it's not as loud as yours.

lol try this.. put your car in N, then simply play with the brakes.. keep pumping very lightly and you will hear that same sound. its the locking mechanism. i thought i was tripping out at first but then i realized..

depends if you like hypermiling. this thing helps me get 32-33 mpg on the highway by finding the right throttle input and speed to get the highest ignition timing. i also wanted to know my air intake temprature and transmission fluid temp(which doesnt work yet).

Haha yeah I just said that because sometimes low braking fluid can cause clicking noises.
