So I was driving to work yesterday and I noticed this really annoying sound, it sounds exactly like a cricket. I looked in the trunk to see if anything was rubbing against something didn't see anything out of the usuall but, alsoit's seems to get louder when I go faster and when I go over some bumps.. Now I know your mounts make some creeking noise which I have that but this sounds like a cricket from the driver side rear... Could it be something to do with the suspension? It's a dumb questionbut,I thoughtI would ask. thanks

 

coming from the trunk? check all sway bar bushings and your strut bearing/bushings

 

could be a completly blown shock......never really heard a car make a cricket noise.

 

Maybe .... Lucky Cricket?

lol, sorry i don't know, i'd say bushings as a blown shock should be obvious...

 

If it's a coupe, and you have the plastic "privacy" thingy hanging inside the trunk, check all four mounting points. The lower are like pins, the upper are plastic tabs jammed into the trim. Mine drove me nuts with "chirps" and other assorted annoying noises until I finally removed it all together. It works much better stashed away in my garage loft and I don't miss it one bit.

 

now that you mention it, that could indeed be the noise. i'm about to throw that thing out too!

 

I've found that the little plastic frame around the bag window (where that privacy screen mounts to)kinda rattles, particularly at higher speeds and rougher roads. If I reach back and press on it I can get it to stop, but when I let go it comes back. Any suggestions?

 

Not sure if its the same noise, but my entire back hatch creeked and rattled until I adjusted the bumperstops.

 

I have this same problem and I'm pretty sure it's the privacy hatch. I actually like having the privacy hatch, so is there really no other solution other than to remove it?
