valley Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) I have a 2013 LEGACY that is making a crazy noise. It haPPens when it's moving and doesn't matter if it's in drive or nuetral. It's like a zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Mkae the noise of a z and thats the noise the car is making. It sounds like it's coming from the front, but was told it was probably in the transmission. Anyone else heard of this or had the same noise. It only makes it if the car is moving. Please HELP!!

Fairtax4me Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Have you checked the power steering fluid level? If you reg the engine up some while sitting still and turn the wheel back and forth does it make the same sound? Or does the car have to be rolling for it to make the noise?

valley Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 It has to be moving. Sitting still doesn't do anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 CHeck all your fluid levels. Does it change with speed or engine rpm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Did you run over anything recently that might have got stuck under the car? Stick? Deer? Bike? Does the noise happen at all speeds or only above or below a certain speed? Does the frequency of the noise change as you go faster? Does turning make any difference in the noise?

valley Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 It stays the same regardless of speed. doesn't go away while turning nor does it get louder. i have checked it out and don't see anything stuck around any moving parts. it sounds like the old baseball card clothes pinned on the forks of your bicycle to make a "motor" sound like we did as a kid. it's starting to drive me crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 It may be normal operation for late model subaru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valley Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 I thought that too but it is way to prominant to be a normal characteristic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 any big pothole strikes, wrecks or work done before this began? you hear the noise in reverse too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccrinc Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Can you tell if it's coming more from one side vs. the other? It stays the same regardless of speed. doesn't go away while turning nor does it get louder. i have checked it out and don't see anything stuck around any moving parts. it sounds like the old baseball card clothes pinned on the forks of your bicycle to make a "motor" sound like we did as a kid. it's starting to drive me crazy That would be more of a "flap, flap, flap" noise!

nipper Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 With the car off and cold, rotate the cooling fans and make sure they are free. Confirm its not coming from the HVAC blower. Make sure the heat shields are tight on the exhast pipes. Check tires for rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
