2021 tacoma front hood squeak

My truck has been making a subtle squeaking noise going over bumps and such some where from the front end. I am 99.99% it has nothing to do with suspension. Sounds like it’s somewhere right in front of the dash. Has any one else experienced this with their 3rd gen. Mine is a 2021

 

Welcome To TW…haven’t heard mine doing it.

 

See if the fender bolts tighten up a smidge.

 

Have had body mounts replaced and truck looked at twice now. Neither for the squeak I am describing but have been told by Toyota that everything checks out… seems like one of those mysteries… not seriously concerned just very annoying

 

Could the noise possibly be in your dash?

I chased a squeaking sound for several weeks that was driving me insane in my 2020. Had purchased the truck used one year old. Sounded like it was originating from the very front corner passenger side interior. Removed a lot of the dash chasing it down.

Was about to give up when I was in the engine bay wiggling things around to see if anything was rubbing the firewall. Figured out it was a bracket holding the harness in the engine bay. Nut was slightly loose so any movement would 'squeak' and transmit through the firewall.

Another squeak was coming from the hood latch itself.

 

That description is pretty close to identical to my certain situation, that particular bracket and all of the others along the bottom hood line seem to be pretty snug. Reluctant to start going thru the dash at this point.

I had a noise that i thought was steering or suspension that went on for like 2 months. my fix is in the thread above.

 

Maybe try greasing the hood latch mechanism where it's making contact.

 

Dash is scarily easy to pull apart in this truck compared to other vehicles I've owned.

Few bolts/screws but mostly just yank and pull. Very Lego like.
