Dash noise. - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hey guys,

I just purchased an 07 Camry SE. This dash noise coming from the stereo system is driving me nuts.

It intermittenly does a fairly loud single tick and click sound once awhile. I thought it was due to CD inside but also does it without CD. Anyone else come across this problem also?

Maybe something is loose behind the dashboard or something.

Thanks,

PS. Does it idle when on or driving.

Welcome to CAmRY HeLL ^.^

I have the same problem when the road is not smooth. Every bump there will be a "tick" sound coming from the center console only when its cold.
They couldn't find it when I took it to the dealer.

Off topic, but how'd you get the SE V6 w/ navi at that price?

Just start dealing with the ticks and creaks, the dealership will never figure it out, they'll tell you they added foam and padding, but it never works...

Yea i figure they won't be able to. I think you're right about only happens when is cold.

Oh well.

Thanx for the input guys.

Take a look at this thread about a new dash noise TSB I posted a while ago:

Mines is similar, but it's like an occassional electrical sound coming from the drivers side dash or door?

I had a ticking noise from the center dash near the windshield. I complained and the dealer dampened it on their first try successfully.

I get the occasional tick sound from the front dash speakers. Don't know what it's caused by, but it only happens at higher volumes sometimes.

Oh and I have a rattle in the windshield pillar on the passenger side. That one is new - the dealer has not yet been notified.

I like to collect several problems before going there else they won't take me seriously.

My CE M/T has an annoying noise from the bezel (?) around the gear shift (the horizontal piece that goes from the cup holders to the cubby). I had removed it a couple times, but none of the clips are broken or nuthin'. It sounds likes its not seated completely and has a slight rattle. When I push on it to stop the noise it's doesn't seem to help all that much, but I'm almost positive that is where it is coming from.

I do not, however and thankfully, have a "ticking" around the windshield.

I can't stand those freggin' rattles and noises. No matter how loud the radio is, I always hear them and they always grate on my nerves.

Yazovets,

"I had a ticking noise from the center dash near the windshield. I complained and the dealer dampened it on their first try successfully."

Do you know what the dealer did to eliminate the noise and how long the repair took?

Thanks.

Mike

I'm having the exact same problem you're having. I'm gonna let my dealer take a look at it this Saturday. I started to notice this since it got cooler in Atlanta.

The only thing I was told was that they stuffed some sort of "foam" sheets in there. I don't know anything about exactly where, how many sheets, etc...
