    See linked video for actual noise!

    My 2013 Tacoma TRD Sport has recently started to have weird noises when driving over 60mph. They seem to be coming from the drivers side steering console or dash. It’s not a vibration, but a snap crackle and popping sound happening every 1-2 seconds. Can’t associate it with anything other than being greater than 60mph. Goes away once I’ve slowed down. Any help greatly appreciated!

    Check your wheel bearings. Also look for something that had come loose maybe wheel well liner or splash guards

    it sounds like something is swinging and hitting something. Perhaps the wind above 60mph is enough to make it hit something. fog light plug?
