Anyone else noticed this? Many times when I am in the garage standing outside the car, I hear a faint sound like a fog horn from a ship in the distance. It is coming from somewhere in the car and the car is not running. Sometimes it happens hours after it was last running. Any clues what this is? It's an '02 TL-S.

 

sounds like too much of the wacky weed getting to ya'....

 

I have heard that. Its almost sound like an electronic adjustment of the suspension lowering or adjusting, its a buzzing sound. Wonder what that is, i know exactly what ur talking about.

Find out and pm me what that is

 

 

secret government tracking device used to track down overly modded TLs...LOL...but bak on topic...no idea what it is...

 

no joke i heard that the last time i was changing my oil. sounds like it is coming from the rear of the car. like some sort of pump. it would go off for about 10- 20 secs then stop then a few mins later on again. i thought i was the only one hearing it too. my car was off and the key was in my pocket.

 

It's the evaporative canister releasing pressure back to the gas tank. My car does the same thing, it sounds like a cow mooing! I nearly shit when I first heard it.

 

That's exactly it TLMugen. Sounds like a mooing cow. Mystery solved. Or maybe it's Docrob inhaling his meth pipe! Hahaha

 

its the ghost of the broken tranny coming back to haunt the new tranny.....

 

lol...i heard it for the first time about a month ago and periodically since then. strange sound are we certain its pressure being released from the gas tank?

 

I agree. It is the fuel tank venting. This is very common, especially with motorcycles. On this car, though, it is a bit more noticeable I must confess.

 

scary stuff

 

ahhh...thats funny
