weird sound coming from the engine


Recommended Posts

Hello and very good day to everybody!

I've been hearing some weird sound from my 08 wrx (hatch, MT) lately and here's hoping if theres anyone who has any idea what it might be! I apologies for the poor audio recording! the sound is audible if you turn the volume up

The first sound usually happen shortly after i start the car (around the 8 sec mark in the audio clip, slight grinding, only for a sec or so). This is a recordings of one of the softer ones, i couldnt replicate the louder sound.

Not sure if its entirely related but i realise this sound only came about after i replaced my timing belt!

when accelerating (around the 9 sec mark in the audio clip, rattling sound, almost like something is loose)

This sound doesn't always comes up but if it does it stays on as long as I steep on the accelerator. It'll be gone once I let go and the sound doesn't return if I accelerate again.

any help will be much appreciated! thank you! smile.gif
