Amart88 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 This may sound straight retarded but... I have been having this annoying noise in my wall (so i think) for a few months. It seems to be getting a lot more persistant. Especially with the system not hooked up for the winter. Every time I hit a bump or a dip in the road there is a small snapping sound coming from back there somewhere. It sounds like it is coming from the rear of the enclosure or so it seems. Does it sometimes when I hit the brakes also. Not extremely loud but loud enough to notice when the music is not turned up. I have tried many times to find out what is causing it to no avail. I can grab my baffles and shake the whole damn truck and it will not make the sound. I even tried jumping on my back bumper and still nothing. The only reason I am trying to find it is because it never used to do this and as time goes my it seems to be doing It a lot more. Seems almost like it does it with up/down motion. Any ideas to what it could be? Or things I could do or check? Really irritating. It's bolted through the floor over the alxe where the cargo hooks were.

Amart88 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Broken shock or spring loose body mounts. Just installed new shocks and the springs were fine. It sounds like it's coming form inside of the truck or enclosure. High pitched snapping not like a thud or knock. Just trying to maybe figure it out lol. My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled.

Nick580 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Might have a freind help to listen while you try to recreate the conditions that cause the noise. Since it sounds like it happenes when the chasis moves up and down it may be related to your suspension. Have you noticed any difference in the ride quality at all? Sorry for not knowing but what kind of car do you drive? You may consider looking up some TSB's if you cant find any problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullz Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Might have some cracked sheet metal under the box and when you hit something just hard enough you hear it which might be why you can't replicate it. I would get under it and really check closely for signs of fatigue and cracking, use the most powerful lights you can find or buy to make your inspection cause finding small cracks can be pretty hard. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullz Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Jack it up a few inches and let it release really quick as if it dropped and see if you can get it to make the noise. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amart88 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 sounds like a screw creaking.. just gonna have to do your best to try and narrow it down Sounds more like what it could be. Don't know how though as everything is glued and glassed to hell. Only things not glued are the plexi window and part of the third rear baffle around the window. I also had the idea that maybe one of the bolts got a bit looser or someting and is alllowing the wall to slightly lift. Or that the sheet metal on the floor maybe lifts up around the bolts causing the floor to seperate a minute amount making the snap. Really just guesses. Don't want to break anything.

Amart88 Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Well, I got under and checked the body yesterday where it is bolted, I did not see any visual cracks. The undercoat was flaking off around the bolts though. May possibly be flexing a bit around them. I went for a small drive today, a lot of snow on the road, thing was doing it on every little rough spot. Now I just need to find some way to make it go away. Anyone got any ways to brace it to the floor or truck in another way? I wish I had of PL'd it to the floor when I had the chance lol. My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled.

Skullz Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Does the noise emanate from the top or bottom? In relation to your ears where does it sound as if it is coming from? Lower? Middle? High? How close does the sound appear to be to you from front to back? Right behind you? In/under the box? Behind the box? Once you answer those questions you'll have a better idea as where to look for the source of the problem cause it could very well be the box, or it could be the truck, or something completely different all together. Finding creaks and cracking noises can be problematic at times. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
