I have an 05 6MT with 57K on it. Today I had my windows down and noticed a chirping or rattling noise coming from the engine. When I got home and parked it in the garage, I revved it up and you can hear it at about 3,000 rpm. I'm thinking it may be a belt but fearing it may be something worse than that. Can anyone help??

not 100% sure if this was the same noise, but i am having the same issue as well, like when accelerating the noise is there but once over 3000rpm its gone. I had it on my 05 Auto TL as well, the dealer fixed it since i was under warranty and said it was a heat shield in the engine bay but did not specify which one...so I'm going to try to see if it's the case soon because it's irritating me lol....goodluck to you!

I don't think it's the same noise as yours. I can hear it while driving but I have to be driving by a building or something to actually hear it. But I know it's a sound you don't want to hear.

Sounds like a heat shield. They loosen up and then make noise at a certain frequency of vibration. Same principle as a National steel guitar. Should be an easy fix.

Here's the diagram:

Each of those "baffles" is a suspect.

Thanks guys, I'll head to the stealership to have them fix it for me. Since my warranty expired any idea how much it might be?

I have the same problem. It took the dealer all day to figure it out and they said they fixed it but it came back the next day.

Is there a heat shield for the brakes? I noticed when I kick my passenger tire it makes the same sound. Like there is a loose piece of metal or something. I could feel a thin piece of metal on the back side of the rotor that seemed to be loose. Haven't taken the wheel off yet to check.

i can bet you guys have a COLD AIR INTAKE !!!!

and when you rev it up, from the engine rock there is this chirping or rattling....I get it too, but the reason I havent tightened that bolt on the CAI is because I dont want to tear it up when I step on it !!!!

Nope. Everything is stock but would like to start modding someday soon though.
