Hey guys! I've taken this to a mechanic, and he's stumped. Maybe you guys can help out?

I'll start up my car, and let it warm up regular temperature. When I drive up to 37-40 MPH, I can hear a loud squeaking noise coming from the passenger side. Don't know the exact place, but it seems to come from the dashboard area. When I gain more than 40MPH, the sound stops.

This is an re-occurring problem, and I would like to find out what is causing this, so I don't go nuts spending too much money figuring this thing out.

 

my car does something very similair. my sound is more like a clicking, but its coming from the precise area your sound is. id like to figure this one out as well.

 

It kind of sounds like.... a very eery, "EEEEE" sound. I'll try and record it either today or tomorrow when I'm driving.

 

Mine does the same thing, it drives me nuts! does it when cold and low RPM.

 

This thing drives me nuts too!! I went to Lexus dealership today, and they told me that it could be something either stuck in between the calipers, my fans, my engine, or it could just be a problem they haven't come across yet. I'll be having it looked at tomorrow.

 

Please let us know how it goes.

Thank you

 

Anything new on this? My dashboard makes funny chirping noises and can't figure what it's from.

 

I cleaned out the MAF sensor, as well as the throttle body, changed all of the filters, and it stopped chirping. Guess there was something stuck somewhere.

 

yours might be servo problems....anything wrong with the heat and air?

 

I had a similar issue mine was coming from one of the windshield defroster vents on the top of the dash center. Once identified the culprit I just folder a piece of matchbook cover and stuffed it between the edge of the vent and the dash (not inside the vent).

Let me know if this resolves your problem. khmmm. Finders fee
