Questions tagged [clicking]

Use this tag for questions about clicking noises coming from your Motor Vehicle. Please include detail regarding whether the clicking is fast/slow, where it seems to be coming from, and whether the speed of the engine or the speed of the car affects how fast or loud the clicking is.

A click is a short, sharp sound that does not normally occur in automobiles. It may happen once, or (often) happens rapidly in succession: for example, while holding the key before the engine starts or while the wheels are spinning.
