    My 07 prerunner has recently started making a strange noise occasionally but always occurs while accelerating while making a sweeping turn. It sounds like it is originating from the right side just in front of the passenger seat. It sounds very similar to vibrating metal. I had a local shop check it out after I showed them the noise on a test drive, and they couldn't find anything wrong. The truckalso makes a similar sound coming from the same area while in reverse. This issue has been going on for years and I just felt that the truck didn't like going backwards I'm wondering if the issues are related. Can anyone share their experience with a similar issue? I am going to try to set a link for videos of the noise in both situations(hopefully you can hear and understand what I'm talking about)

    I couldn't tell too well from the video but that sounds like something i had. Where the air intake goes through the sidewall under the hood, theres a foam strip around it and mine wore off and caused the intake to vibrate against the medal. I took some foam seal strips and put that on in place of the old foam

    Is this the foam your talking about. A foam ring where the intake meets the wheel well? Mine seems intact

    Yes thats where my issue was. I couldnt see the squished foam till i took it out of the hole, because the pastic hitting the wheel well was on the other side of what you can see in the pic
