:6:Since the day I drove my AVL off the lot I have vibration/gurgling noise under my floor boards. Has anybody else heard this. It happens only on acceleration and when you let off the gas under 20 mph. Its getting pretty irritating...Dealerships have no clue!!!

Any thoughts as to what it may be?
 
Hi,
I am familiar w/ this noise and had it checked at 2 dealerships.......

first of all, I am bad at describing noises.......but the location of the noise is in the same place.......

it isn't a very loud noise right?
mine is not very loud, but nonetheless I wanted to make sure everything was ok.
in fact, the dealership could not hear it for a long time

I hear it once I have started the engine and going at a very slow, almost coasting speed. so definitely under 20 mph....in fact, under 5mph......

does it do it more than once on a single trip.....for example if you are driving, then go to a stop sign, then you might hear it again??

mine does not......it only does, once .......

the explanation I received is that it is the ABS resetting itself.......which is normal......

obviously, not every car does this though.....

sound legit??
I am thinking that i will buy that explanation, but feel free to tell me differently

 
I have it, too, though I have usually described it as a growl, but I think a low gurgle is also acurate. I have it when I start up from a stoplight with a load on the engine. Note really worried...I think it could be a resonance issue with the exhaust.
 
I have an '04 WBH that I picked up on 6-9-04 and have noticed the exact same thing since day 1. The truck runs fine, though and all the guages seem to be where they're supposed to be. I thought that I'd just keep and eye (ear) on it and see if it starts happening more often, louder, etc. I was just in to the dealer for an oil change and should have asked while I was there. duh :p
 
Are you sure it is not coming ro that little grille right above your head. There is a small fan in there that can make a little noise.

Buthc
 
i have that noise....its annoying.

everytime i hit the gas the inlaws scream from underneath the truck. Thats why loud stereos are important!

:D
