Buzzing Noise from Rear Area
 

Have had my Z since late September. Occassionally I get a very annoying buzzing noise coming from somewhere behind the seats. Seems to happen when the car has been out in the Sun and then driven on rough roads. Also occurs when RPMs go above 6K. When I push up on roof it seems to go away until I stop pushing. Not sure if I want to take it to the dealer. I'm worried they may very likely make the matter worse as the sound only happens occassionally.

Anyone else have a similar problem?

Me too
 

I've heard that also. So far my dealer has not be able to duplicate the sound. But he is still looking every time I bring it in. The last time it was in the Tech told me the next time I hear it to bring the car directly to him. So far it hasn't popped up again for me to do so.

Keep me posted if you find something on your car.................... Thanks

:tiphat:

I've had a buzz/rattle since day one. I put some bags of salt back there the other day (water softener) and it stopped. Next time I have it at the dealer I'll mention it (again).

for my noise i,ve been to the dealership,nissan says a ecu is the culprit,its been discussed on forum before,service mge and tech hear same noise nissan is aware,still waiting for fix.:ugh2:

I have it too. Not the high pitch ECU noise some are complaining of but a buzz/rattle from the rear of the interior somewhere.

It happens about 50% of the time and it's starting to bug me. I usually have the radio on but still want to track it down and eliminate it ASAP. I wonder if my wife will ride in the hatch for a mile or two to help me pinpoint it... :shakes head:

I finally isolated the noise (sort of). It's coming from the area where the hatch meets the roof on the passenger side. Either at the back of the headliner or the top of the hatch.

Has anyone had a buzz/rattle from this area and fixed it?

I'll take it to the dealer if I can't figure it out, but I'd rather skip the trip to the dealer if possible.

Nope, but I'm still mildly annoyed by that high-pitched electronic whine that's in the car -_-

I agree that that is the area the noise is coming from. When it does it if I press up on the roof it temporarily stops. No idea how to fix it though and letting the dealer mess with it might very likely make matters far worse.

I've had this rattle for almost as long as I've had the car. On smooth pavement it's not there, but any/every time I'm anything a bit rough, it's there. Really annoying and I hope someone finds a fix.

I've been experiencing a similar rattling/buzzing sound on particular road surfaces. I originally thought it was coming from the back now I think it's the drivers side window. I found that if I hold the window up button the noise stops.

BUZZING NOISE FROM THE REAR AREA?

I had a girlfriend that had a buzz coming from the rear area once.Come to find out she was an avid fan of ben wa balls big time....
Sorry just couldn't resist..lol!

Hope the salt was sealed.

I have similar rattle from day 1. On mine, the back retractable cover is rattling.

I've heard this, but not often. Maybe once or twice. Then again I am deaf enough to say "What?" to anyone farther than 5ft from me talking in a normal voice :P

:icon17: Now that sounds like an OG response :tup:
