I periodically hear a popping/clanking noise from directly under the radio and shifter while idling like something is loose. It's not really loud, but def noticeable. You can only hear it inside the car. It doesn't affect performance at all. The car drives and clutch/transmission feels completely fine. I can also hear it while driving. it's like a buzzing noise or vibration that I can even feel in the gas pedal while driving. The car is completely stock and is a MY 2000 with 74k on the clock. Any suggestions on what this might be? It's very annoying!

 

Sounds like clutch buzz from your description. Do a search.

 

Does it happen at random times, when in gear, out of gear, sitting idle, accelerating, decel, etc. Need more info.

 

I have a similar issue same year s while driving if I let off the gas I feel and hear a vibration I feel it in the pedal....idk if its the same as urs or not

 

It does it in and out of gear, accel, decel. It happens randomly. It basically sounds like something is loose. Maybe something with the exhaust. It's a clunking/rattling noise that is random and spuratic.


I have done many searches and I don't believe it to be clutch buzz.

 

This sounds like clutch buzz. Mine happens while idling as well which leads me to believe it is not the same thing. It happens when the car is in neutral as well

 

Anybody else have any ideas?

 

I dunno meng.. bad bearing perhaps. loose heat shield..

 

sounds like something is loose. you should pop the hood and just start shaking things up. maybe you will find something... if not then give me a few days i work at honda ill ask around.

 

I'm going to put it up on a lift to change the oil. I'm going to look around and try to figure out what's wrong. I'm almost positive that something is just loose the more I listen to it.
