I have a '98 Subaru Legacy AWD with 100k miles. When you rev, it's louder than it seems it should be and the usual engine noise sound is accompanied by another gurgling noise. It sounds kind of like a low-pitched bicycle chain click and is constant. My girlfriend calls it the Jetsons car now. Weird, no?
Also, if I accelerate uphill I can make a metallic rattle like a lid on a pot vibrating. This occurs briefly.
Pretty neat, huh? Any guesses? Any questions?
THANKS
Sounds to me like a loose exhaust heat shield; mine sounds just the same!

You are absolutely right, or perhaps a loose exhaust flange, I have a Volvo 240 that I recently gave to my teen son, It developed a leak and rattle becuase the three bolts that hold the cat flange to the exhaust pipe got loose, same as describled, slight glug glug sound, and rattly loose bolts. I believe you are on the right path.

Hi,
And you would suggest...????

Thanks, everybody, I thought it was something low on the car like that. The plate that secures the exhaust - not the radiator.
Do you think if I try tightening that cover, I'll be cool? I don't understand about the leaking though. Exhaust leak?
