Default What noises does your 'bird make?

I just wanted to see what kind of crazy noises other peoples 'birds make.

Mine has produced a rattling noise coming from deep in the center of the dash and what appears to be a heat shield rattling on the passenger side. The rattling of LT's on the k-member and last but not least the god awful noise of worn out bushings in the rear.

Anyways... I know everybody has some squeak, rattle, clunk, etc... Share 'em.

mine goes me me mew meew (squeeling Monster S3).
and bagaghaghaa (TSP 1 7/8 Headers).
Shock / Springs sometimes squeal too, << defiantly need a change (still STOCK).
from a dead stop when i get a wheelie i get massive wheel hops. (LCA's etc etc still STOCK).

nothing else i'm planning on fixing those though
i'm thinking solid rubber on the body near the headers and have a metal plate holding the header's from moving. but, i dunno what to do with the monster lol.
other stuff is just plain old suspension.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna have to replace mine soon.. it's actually sounded like that for years, though. Just kinda noisy when I'm driving slow... Sounds like an old ambulance siren... LOL. Works just fine.

Need to replace the headlight motor, or at least turn the gear so it uses the worn side.

well with my 6 inch bullets dump at the axle it's kind of hard for me to really hear any noise other than the exhaust lol but there is a very distinctive rattle from the center console with my change and it's thanks to the exhaust Dumped under the cabin other than that it's pretty normal noises I guess lol

I have yet to figure out what's rattling in my dash. I think it might be the TB cable. We'll see tomorrow.

Keep all the noises comin'.
