Anyone else have an annoying buzzing noise????

After my slow a$$ LG4 has been warmed up, I start hearing a buzzing noise. It makes my car sound like an 88 Camry. My dad said it was the air pump. Any other ideas? Thanks.

Is the buzzing coming from under the dash, if so, that is your relay module, it buzzes when ever the battery isn't charging the way it should, is your voltage meter reading low.

Or else when you've grounded the positive wire to the choke onto the intake manifold and blown the 20amp fuse... I have a box of them in my console just for that reason

Does the noise occur only at idle, or at all speeds?

It occurs at all speeds after the car has warmed up. The sound is not coming from under the dash. Thanks.

Does it sound like it might be from the transmission?

I get the buzz from the tranny sometimes...I've been told its some sort of pressure oscillating valve...any truth to this?

I don't think it's from the tranny, because I hear it when the car is at idle on park, after the car has warmed up. Thanks.

The Problem is your fans tighten them down there knocking against a metel piece from your ac or your radiator
