Hi.
I tried to clean up that recording that I made of the sound the Hyundai car was giving off (see my last thread):
Can you hear it better now?

No.
I downloaded your "improved" clip, doubled the volume again, and cut out the first part so it just loops over and over and over. It sounds like someone sat a microphone on a running engine. Other than that, I can not make out any specific (or even vaguely identifiable) noise.
Our brains are wonderful things, able to isolate a single person's voice while standing in a crowd with everyone talking at the same volume, but with a recording like yours, where we don't know which of the 500 noises contained in the 1/2 second clip are "normal" for your particular engine, and which you've been listening to for weeks / months / years, it's virtually impossible for US to pick out any "new" noise.
Sorry, but listening to WAVs on the Internet is not the best way to diagnose this.
Is it saying hundayhundayhundayhundayhunday,,,,,,?
My little Blue Heeler Australian Cattle dog can talk.Yes, she really does say a few words. cuhulin
I couldn't hear anything that sounded like a clicking or creaking (your description).
I would guess your noise is something from the exhaust system. Either a leak or something vibrating like a heat shield. Just a wild guess based on what sort of noise would not record well.

And that's what sucks: there's all that other noise in there, and I just can't really get it out. But if you can hear a "knocking" or "clakking" or "creaking" noise in there, that's the noise I'm referring to.
How _can_ I diagnose this problem? We took the car to a mechanic at the car shop and he was mystified too!
At first I tried several times to hear it, and in frustration I played the sound file backwards and what do you know? I heard something. It is easier to hear when played backwards.
The singer in that group ought to wash her mouth out with lye soap, no make that sufuric acid. You really shouldn't be posting filth like that onto the internet.
So what does that mean? Does it mean he heard the noise but couldn't figure out where it was coming from? Or doers it mean he couldn't hear any noise that was out of the ordinary? Or does it mean he spoke a foreign language and couldn't understand anything you said?
And barring that, a three-foot length of fuel hose will do the job.

The stethoscope ''Trick' worked for Gus Wilson at the Model Garage.
I remember reading that story many years ago in Popular Science magazine. cuhulin

I know. I guess I'm just frustrated. The guy was at Carquest or something like that, I think.
Also, what _did_ you hear in that file, anyways? What sort of sounds? Could you hear any noises that didn't sound just like the whirr of the engine and wheels?
So I guess Carquest is too crappy a place, then? The owner of the shop looked at it. He was also a mechanic, and he said he What's this "bait" for? I'm not trying to "bait" anything with it, so if it sucks as bait, that's not a problem, as that's not its purpose.
I don't think a gonkulator actually exists. I think that's something you made up. I think you are pulling my leg. Nor do I think mufflers have bearings in them. I think that too is a HOAX. Are you saying you cannot hear anything that would be abnormal, or what?
Again I think you are pulling my leg. I came here wanting real help, then I hear my recording is no good, and I tried to fix it up, and that didn't do it, and now I get this.
So the "rattling" or "clicking" isn't good enough, then? You can't hear anything in there that sounds like that at all? If so then I'm going to give up on this particular recording.
There isn't exactly a "local" Hyundai dealer around here. We didn't even get this car from a dealer, we got it from a girl in town for cheap.
Other than the noise, there aren't any problems.
OK, maybe "HOAX" is a bit much. But yeah, I think you're just pulling my leg.
I just don't recall where I took it to. Hmmm.

That may sound strange, but it probably isn't. I think this car doesn't really belong to the OP. My guess is that he is a teenager with an internet connection (and maybe a learner's permit) and the car belongs to his parent(s). He is appears to be trying to be helpful. But one can only guess what the real story is. Maybe he really wants to help or maybe feels guilty because the noise started after he jumped the curb and ran over a garbage can.

Maybe a loose/worn muffler/tail pipe might be making whatever noise it might be or one or more motor mounts? My sister took her Honda vehicle to a dealership because of broken motor mount(s). cuhulin

Your theories are good ones. With his obvious aversion to the truth, I don't expect the OP to get (or deserve) much help.

Actually your guess is mostly correct. Like I said, it's a family car, so yeah, it's not _my_ car.
The real story is that when we got the car, it had the noise to begin with. It was used and not from a dealer. And no, I didn't wreck the car.
