Strange noise

[Deleted member 30519]

I have an appointment at my dealer next Friday to get this looked at. Anyone know what this could be? It happens in 2nd gear mostly when the rpms climb above 3k.

It sounds like it might be wind-induced.
Edit: Upon listening again, maybe drivetrain vibration-induced. Is your Jeep lifted?

Yeah, I have a 3.5" lift.

Check your heat shields where your front upper control arms bolt to the frame, and also if your front inner fenders look like they are being sucked into a tire.

when the jt’s wete first coming out folks had issues where after lifting their fender liners would flap in the wind and cause some wild noises.

if you have the synergy sector shaft brace i had an issue where my drivers side spring was contacting it while driving. I figured our the upper spring isolator wasn’t oriented properly.

Do let us know how the appointment went. Mine started making the exact same noise as well. I have the 6 speed too. Usually happens when I accelerate in 2nd just as you described

Curious to see what the dealer says. I have the same sound - stock Overland 6MT and I get this sounds while accelerating as well. No lift.

I took it to the dealer when I first got the truck and they claimed they "fixed it". No change.
I was more focused on getting the leaking back windows fixed so I didn't push on the noise as it really does seem to be something vibrating when the RPMs hit a certain frequency.

If you decide to return to the dealer, please let us know beforehand. We can certainly have a case escalated for assistance.

Might be some slight pinging. Try Chevron 89 octane gas and see if it stops.

In my case, it isn't coming from the engine itself. Something in the footwell seems to be vibrating/rattling when the engine hits certain rpms.

If you feel like crawling underneath, here are some heat shield spots that could be loose. The upper control arm heat shield are being held on with two 10 mm bolts and the exhaust pipe heat shield are held on with hose clamps.

Did you ever figure out what the was the cause of the noise? Mines doing the same thing

I have had the exact same noise come and go for quite some time now. I haven't bothered taking it to the dealer because it is very inconsistent on when it happens.

6MT and it is usually around 3K RPM's, mostly in 2nd gear, but have heard it in 1st and 3rd too. Would love to know more about those who have had this issue.
