From what I remember in my 04 these sounds were never there. My new 07 seems to make a strange (well how can i explane this) patter like what sounds to be the lsd working, but it was never noticable before in the 04. Only really hear it during initial take off, but more so when turning during initial start. I thought maybe it was the tcs working, but i turned it off and it was still there.

I'm not getting worried because it is a new car. just curiuous if this is common for the 07's? I'll see if I can describe the sound better later on, but now I have to get to work

Oh and my friend said he hears a load patter outside the car when I took off next to him.

 

slap the old 3inch on the new 07 and forget about the noise...... heheh

 

 

Nail in the tire?

 

haha actually i just went out to check when I saw your post, but the tires are fine.

 

maybe something lodged in the hub area hitting the abs ring causing the noise

 

to dark to check now, but going to lift the car tomorrow and take a look.

love the name by the way. aren't we all.

 

it seems like it sometimes but somehow always manage to scrape up some money somehow to do what we want

 

i hear you, i don't know how it happens either, but hey take it where you can get it.

 

I described that symptom and asked for help here right after purchasing my '07 S new.
My noise was more noticeable when I'm slowly making an almost full lock turn.
I don't hear that noise anymore.
Maybe it was a break-in noise, I don't know.
But it went away after a while.
