Annoying noise
My 2005 Santa Fe has developed an annoying noise behind the dash.
It sounds a bit like a bee is trapped near the defrost vent and is buzzing around trying to get out. I've looked into the vent areas with a mirror just to be sure and didn't see anything. I also thought it might be a piece of paper or plastic caught in there that is flapping around. The sound only happens when the vehicle is moving. It was very faint at first (~2 weeks ago) but is getting louder. Any idea what this could be? Thanks, Jon |

If so, you probably have leaf or seeds in the air ducts. |
Re: Annoying noise
I'll check that. Thanks Brian.

I'm starting to think speedometer cable. Sound possible? Jon |
Re: Annoying noise
I tried posting yesterday, but it's still sitting there in my preferences,
not yet posted. Anyway, it's not a speedo cable. You don't have one. I've not seen this on a Santa Fe, but I did work on a GM product on which the tape was coming off the windshield moulding, making a buzzing noise when the car was driven fast enough. Check your windshield mouldings and the cowling for anything that might be loose and able to make a buzzing noise. Could even be a leaf. |

I checked all the vents and around the windshield, and nothing is stuck in there or flapping around. I've been trying to localize the sound (which is fairly difficult as it only happens while I'm driving) but it does appear to be coming from behind the dashboard above the steering wheel. Are their any mechanical connections back there that could be doing this? Tachometer, clockspring, etc. Thanks, Jon |
Re: Annoying noise
It's more likely that something is loose in your dash attachments. Has
anyone taken the dash apart recently for any reason? |
Re: Annoying noise
Nope, nothing has been disassembled.
I had the car in for inspection 2 weeks ago and asked them to listen for the sound then. They didn't hear it. It was very faint then and at that point I didn't realize it only occurred when I was moving.

Re: Annoying noise
I don't think you're going to get any closer to the source without a
technician hearing the noise. |
Re: Annoying noise
I think your right. I'll get it to the dealer in the next few weeks and let
everyone know what I find. Thanks for your help. Jon "hyundaitech" <notpublic@not.public.com> wrote in message news:0b0adc629c74c244738be57192bdf98e@localhost.ta lkaboutautos.com... > I don't think you're going to get any closer to the source without a > technician hearing the noise. > |
