Another Dreaded Noise Post

[Ken Niel]

Hey Everyone
New to the forum and a new proud owner of a 2017 Tacoma. It has 2500 miles on it and the truck is, simply put, the best vehicle I have ever owned.

One issue that the truck has is a noise that I cant seem to find an answer for and I haven't had time to get it to a dealership to be looked at. Maybe someone can help me out here

The noise only happens when the truck is warmed up and in gear. The noise is VERY loud inside the truck when the truck is sitting still with my foot on the brake and almost goes away when the truck is moving. Its a LOUD rattle/tapping noise that comes from behind the glove box from under the hood. I know the injectors on these trucks are loud but I am not sure I would be able to hear that from inside the truck as clear as I can. Also its not the speaker cover rattle.

Ill take a video of the sound later on.

Thanks everyone!

Same problem in the 2nd gen. I think it was a loose wiring harness.

Here it is haha

Since it’s still under warranty I’d take it to the dealer so it’s documented. Congrats on the 2017 taco and welcome to the forum.

I think it has something to do with the hvac fan. I hear it when it is on low and radio is down.

Shouldn’t be that loud though.

You haven’t mentioned it, is your AC/heat fan on during this noise? Have you pulled the interior air filter out in the back of the glove box and looked/listener there?
