Tightlines

Well, so far it's strictly been trout and steelhead with the fly rod. Spin rod, I LOVE to fish for bass. Especially in the kayak. Nothing like getting ripped around on the water Damn, sucks when it's too cold to fish. Where are you located? I'm in Northern California, it gets cold but not really enough to freeze us out. How do I find this fishing thread? Thanks!

Currently waiting to hear from them regarding diagnostic, so I am uncertain at this point what exactly transpired. I believe they quoted the driveshaft at $550 At the moment I haven't fished much because of school. But, I'm newly learning fly fishing as of last year and I can't get enough of it.

Thought I would forward an update, as this has been quite an odd experience. Noise progressed into a "gravel" sound when reversing and moving forward under 10mph, then a loud screech, followed by was sounded like metal rubbing on metal. Upon getting off the freeway last friday (thank god), i was approaching a stoplight at about 15 mph, then suddenly felt a hard thump under my seat and heard a loud bang. Proceeded to move forward into the closest parking lot and the car began shaking violently. It sounded like a codswalloping chopper. Any way, long story short.. sound WAS drive shaft related. Sitting at subaru waiting to hear back. Likely a broken u-joint. So Sooberroo, congrats. I'd say you've got quite the ear! Thanks to everyone who contributed to this post! I'm just an average female hoping to learn a few things about her car!

Figured it out!

The noise will continue its rate/volume when car is placed in neutral. Sound does not alter when tapping breaks. Sound reduces in intensity upon slowing, and it truly follows speed. It will continue the same noise with slight turning of wheel to go around wide turns. Does not make noise upon sharp right or left turn, as I’m slowing below 10 mph. Grade doesn’t so much have a huge factor. It’s solely speed. Sounds like right front when sticking my head out passenger door.

The sound also does not occur in park while revving the engine. It only happens when I am at speeds above ~ 10mph.

I am new to this forum and can not figure out how to post an audio file. I transferred from my iPhone to Mac, so it's showing as a music file. I go to upload, but it doesn't show up in the forum.

The tabs have been checked in the air intake box and are secure.

Have a listen here: I have been experiencing what seems to be a momentum dependent noise. I have attached an audio file to be referenced. This noise occurs at about 10mph+ and is noteable louder at freeway speeds. The noise fluctuates but haven’t quite been able to determine why. It gets quieter as I am decreasing in speed and almost pauses during each down shift of gear. It sounds like someone “supercharged” my car Tossed around idea of possible vacuum/air leak; however there is no noticeable reduction in car performance nor mileage. Currently, my car is showing code 420.. possibly cat related. Don’t think this would lead to such a noise though. I am no mechanic, in fact I know very little about cars. Just hoping someone could shed light to this matter before I lose my brain over this noise. Please help!! Thanks! -Jess
