Don’t hear anything

 

Sounds like a loose belt. Take it to the dealer if it’s under warranty

 

It’s hard to hear. I have to hold the phone up to my ear. It’s a hard noise to capture on video. But only happens every once in awhile.

 

My bad!!! Just frustrated with the issue.

 

It’s definitely not a belt. It only happens under slow acceleration w/load. I need to take it in.

 

So many folks use 'it has warranty' as part of their rational to purchase new.

Seems it may be time to use what you paid for?

 

I would if I wasn’t deployed rn. Will definitely try to get it looked at when I get back. Just wanted to post and hear others opinions.

 

Its likely those pesky muffler bearings.

 

Depending on how long you will be deployed. I would have some family or friend that you can trust to bring it in to the dealer and have it looked at. Just saying and be safe.

 

lmao

 

Yeah man I might have to do that!

 

I've listened a bunch of times with headphones and I can't make out anything out of the ordinary.

 

It sounds like a piston slap. It’s so hard to get on recording.

 

Sounds perfectly fine to me

These engines make a lot of interesting noises, so there is that.

 

Hey guys - the noise is spark knock. It that metallic sounding (marbles in a can) sound. Some people say to put higher octane in, but with a 2022 Tacoma I have the same thing happening, and higher octane doesn’t totally fix it. I’ve noticed it is more prevalent on hot days when I am doing more stop and go driving. Some people hear it more when accelerating or when climbing a hill.

 

Yeah, i'd bet its fine. These engines definitely make more mechanical sounds than your average v6 of the past...maybe even the present.

 

Did anyone ever figure out what the noise was? My 2021 just started making the noise I just filled up with 87 and it was at the dealer for an oil change yesterday… Amy thoughts?

 

Your engine is probably pinging. Normal Once in a while for a very short time.
