'17 Taco Noise

Hi all!

I picked up a new to me 2017 Tacoma TRD Sport 2wd just shy of 50k miles on the odometer a few days ago and it's been great. I noticed a slight rattling noise on low speed acceleration and I'm wondering if any of ya'll might know what it could be?

The noise isn't really there at idle and is either gone or unnoticeable at higher speeds. If I had to guess I'd say it's exhaust related. Just wondering if this is a common!

Sounds like chirping from the serpentine belt common issue on that year . Spray some stuff on the belt see if the noise goes away . If not back to square one .

 

Maybe...my belts sound a little different when they chirp. Is it only in drive or does it also happen in neutral?

 

Ok! Thanks for the input guys. I figured this out

When parked, the noise was intermittent. After listening all around the truck, I kept coming back to the exhaust system. I was hoping it wasn't a cat gone bad. Eventually I narrowed it down to the exhaust tip and the clips holding it in place were loose smh. Tightened three bolts and my taco is purring with no rattle.

 

Gotta love the easy fixes

 

Cut the exhaust off
