Has anyone experienced sounds like this?
(This is audio only, my cell phone was face-down on the floor in the console area.)
~0:08 - I cross the threshold while backing out of my garage
~0:18 - I open the windows (you can start hearing birds chirping in the background, sorry)
~0:32 - I cross the threshold while driving forward into my garage
It started almost a week ago and it has gotten progressively worse. I hear it when I go over any bump, sometimes when I get in and out of the car, and sometimes when I simply turn the steering wheel at low speeds. In general it's most noticeable at low speeds, but now I can hear it at pretty much any speed, even over "standard" road noise at highway speeds. The car only has ~7700 miles on it right now.
I have an appointment with the Rockville Service Center in ~3 weeks, but I'm planning on a trip to NJ starting Thursday afternoon. I left messages for Rockville tonight to see if they can sneak me in tomorrow or Thursday morning for a quick safety check, as I'd rather not drive 500 miles without being sure it's safe and that I won't cause bigger problems. Meanwhile, I figured I'd ask the experts here, in hopes that there's something constructive I can tell the service center when they call me back. I'll post again once they do take a look, of course.
I've done some searching here but couldn't find much of anything that's relevant or similar. I'm pretty confident it's not the pano roof creak.
