Springy noise when closing doors....
Well here's a new one.... When I shut the door (either one) the car makes a spring-like noise. Something's rattling around. Not sure exactly what, but something towards the rear of the car, near the back right wheel. Any guesses? My first thought was the exhaust hitting something, but it's on there good and tight. I'm fairly sure it has nothing to do with the suspension... I can bounce on the corner and it resets itself every time so there's no blown shock. I can't get to the spring... But I'm not sure if that can come loose. No problems with driving, but I just wonder what this is. I'm fairly certain it's outside, because it's much louder outside than in. If anyone has any insight on to what this may be, I'd like to hear it, its got me baffled, and I searched and couldn't find this noise.

listen, if you go in your trunk, only for us extreem racers[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] behind the interior of your trunk is a little vent to the outside body of the car, this has been put there for the pressure that is created when the car doors are closed, for some reason honda wanted to make our cars damn near sound proof, which it isnt, anywhoo, if you dont mind taking out the left interior of your trunk thats whats making the noise, a little flap that lets pressure out of your car when you close the door, so good luck

Rep Power: 0 Yeah most cars come that way, it keeps your ears from poping when you close the door and are inside. You can get at them by removing your rear bumper.
That would be about the only thing I could think that would be making a noise like that.
