  1. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    2016 Subaru Outback Strange noise has developed in the last few months. Noise is a low grumble and occurs inconsistently when car is in park (Can be running or just after car is turned off), and occurs from 20 seconds to 90 seconds depending. Does not always occur either. Sounds like it is...

    Hello! I have 2018 Suba Outback and noticed the noise coming from somewhere in the engine area. It's not the engine itself, as I can hear those two separately. I am attaching a link to the video on my google drive (can't attach directly to the post). I can mostly hear it while on low RPMs, such...

    Hello all, In this public google doc link -- IMG_7129.MOV -- I have attached a video of my engine idling at operating temp. I would like some input on why it may sound the way it does. It is currently around 100 miles post oil change, though I do not believe the noises are related to that...

    I don't know what happened to my car. It was making a siren-like noise when I was driving on a fairly flat road this afternoon, which scared me. The siren-like sound continued for about 8 seconds, and then it stopped. Here is the video link for reference...

    I thought it was a belt or something but it sounds more like it could be a heat shield or exhaust piece rattling? It won’t make the noise if I hit tap the gas in park or drive with my foot on the brake. What’s it sound like to you guys?

    Hi all - my wife side swiped a car, not too bad but bad enough, in our 2015 Outback and it went to collision shop for about 6 weeks. They replaced the right front strut and repaired both right side wheels plus a bunch of body work. Finally got it back, dummy me, I never drove it on the...

    Hey yall, I'm new to the forum! So I have a 2010 Outback 2.5I Premium, I looked up this issue a while ago to no avail. However the issue persists. When I hit about 35 mph the entire car will start to rumble, (and it feels like its coming from the front end, to right under the driver seat) when I...

    It seems to only happen while idling, just noticed it tonight… I can hear it get louder when I lightly accelerate but then it goes away. It also goes away on its own randomly or when I drive. I just heard it while idling tonight and thought it was strange. Any ideas??

    2015 Outback 3.6 67k miles. Hello, I've been reading through some posts but haven't found an exact match to my problem so I'll try a new post. It's hard to describe but I'll try. When I turn my wheel fully in either direction I get that "gripping" sound that AWD vehicles have but it's worse...
  10. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    I have a 2015 Subaru Outback 2.5. Sometimes when driving, I hear a quiet sound that kind of sounds like a "putt-putt" sound, or like a motor, coming from the rear. When it happens, it is usually after braking when driving at 25 mph or less, but it does not happen every time I brake. There is...

    Hello everyone - I'm a new member, but have often found useful information on this forum. I have a CVT-related question, but didn't find existing threads that seemed quite the same. This is long, so I'll try to keep this well organized so it's not a wall of text Background: 2013 Outback 2.5i...

    I have a 2015 Outback with a 2.5L and automatic transmission (CVT) with about 70,000 miles. I hear a very light noise when coasting to a stop. It stops when the transmission shifts down to first gear and sounds like it might be a chain noise. This is fairly new and was not always there. I...
  13. Engine & Drivetrain
    Hi. My mechanic says not to worry but it's driving me nuts. The noise: associated with the car rolling. At walking speed crunch, crunch. As car goes faster they turn into a whine. I can put it in neutral and turn the engine off, no difference. As I understand, the noise is coming from front...

    My 05 Outback XT Limited has developed an odd noise. It intermittently makes a very loud, air horn or siren like noise. The sound seems to be coming from somewhere around the intercooler. There is also a significant lack of power and a loud hissing/air noise when the car reaches into boost...

    Hello, My old outback 2001 makes a loud high-pitch noise whenever I start it and the engine is cold: The noise starts as soon as I turn the car on, which runs above 1500 rpm on the "Parking" position The noise stops as soon as I put the gear in any other position (reverse, neutral or even...

    I came out to find my 96 Subaru battery dead, and rapid clicking under the steering wheel column. The clicking stops when the brake pedal is depressed. Any ideas? Big thanks for any help!!

    Brought my 2002 OBW LL Bean 245k miles to get an oil change ten days ago, came outside this morning to hear this. Valve noise? Replaced the camshaft position sensor 3k miles ago.

    Hi, I will buy an Outback 2001 limited on Tuesday, but I could test drive it yesterday. Everything was fine aside from a weird noise coming from the back: Pitch increases linearly only when driving/accelerating (no change when gears shift) Can cover the sound of the engine but not super loud...

    Hi All, I pulled the trigger not long ago and got myself a new 2020 Outback 2.5 Convenience. I also have a 2006 Outback 3.0 VDC that has 300,000km and doing great. The sound insulation is so good in the 2020 that I didn't notice anything for a while and the other day when I went to a drive...
