Stupid Tapping Noise
I have this weird "ticking noise" that is associated with speed. It's not engine RPM related. The faster I go, the faster it taps. It sounds like it's coming from inside the gauge cluster. Any idea as to what it might be?
Yes I asked Engine Tech. I am impatient.
And no I don't honestly expect straight answers out of 95% of you. :jerkit:

there are a lot of things that could be associated with speed relative ticking sounds:
-CV joints are going
-transmission
-axles
-rock in your tire? (hey, i've diagnosed that problem before for my sister :doh: )
can you narrow it down?

I'll try to roll in neutral and see if it still makes that sound but it just doesn't seem like a transmission thing.
No idea about the rock, but I just recently had the tires off, so it'd be recent.
