Pinpointed Noise....

[AudiWxGuy]

Alright, since I've got my car back with the new suspension setup, which I love by the way, I've had what seems to be a buzzing type sound whenever I hit a bump above like 45-50 mph. At first I thought it may be coming from the right front, coilover, but it is not. I pushed down on the car, drove with the windows open and didn't hear a thing. I figured it was coming from inside the cabin somewhere.

So I took my fuse cover off and started hitting the top of the dash with an open hand to see if I could recreate the sound. I did! I found that it seems to be coming from the fuses. As the energy from the impact is spread through the car, it seems that there is enough movement allowed from the fuses that they are able to vibrate back and forth briefly.


Is anyone else experiencing this noise? I'm trying to think of way I could stop it, b/c it's pretty annoying. I mean, I can live with it, but takes away from the nice quiet ride...


Any ideas??

bump...could it be something else?

StreetSports are not that stiff unless you're riding on the bumpstops to vibrate fuses. It could be what you described, but it simply seems unlikely. If you can recreate it, I would keep looking.

The only noise my car has at the moment is the splash guard so i'm not too familiar with what buzzes on this car.

I'll take it to the place that did the install. I can recreate it by hitting on the dash. The noise isn't as loud, but it definitely seems to be same noise, coming from the fuses. Or at least that area under the dash.
