2012 Camry: Car Noise near Driver Dash Sign In

Hi all,

2012 Toyota Camry LE
Mileage: 115,000~

I'm having a lot of trouble trying to fix this issue of some clicking sound. I've tried taking the car to multiple shops, but they can't seem to find out what the issue is..

It seems like the sound comes when the steering wheel is untouched and just going straight at about 35mph or higher. The sound does momentarily stop when there is a slight left/right turn to the wheel while still driving over 35mph. I've attached a link with a video to listen for the sound if that helps.

We replaced the front brakes and issue still persists.

Any advice or tips are appreciated.

Thanks,

We have no access to that video. It's nearly impossible to diagnose a noise over the Internet.

Apologies. Anyone with the link should be able to review.

No, it still won't play for me. Probably something to do with the format.

Sorry again, I've uploaded it to YouTube. If you have any questions, I can try to help answer to pinpoint what it might be

OK, that worked.

Have you checked all the lower plastic covers and inner fender well? It sounds like plastic flapping in the wind.

Yes, the lower plastic cover was loose before missing a clip, but we secured that and the sound still persists. Inner fender is good too. When the sound comes, we can feel sort of a small vibration from the steering wheel.

We got a wheel alignment done back in July as well. The sound has been an issue since around Dec. 2021. It started off really low sounding like just a small top piece of the fender was hitting something. Then fast forward now, it's gotten a bit louder as seen in the video.

You still might have air getting under something.

There isn't much else I can do for you. It's going to require an "on site" inspection to pinpoint the sound.
