LOL Yeah, it happened that way for me as well. But on the third visit, the mechanic heard it loud and clear. So I'm scheduled again. I'll keep posted on what they find. Indeed, the noise migrates, from left speaker to right, and then centre, with a "teeth chattering" like noise -- in my night...

Here are two clips showing the noise, and the slight variation and migration it displays. It's now official that this is not a Poltergeist, however, the problem remains just as mysterious with no fix in sight and causing mental insanity after 1 1/2 in this bran new car...

Rattle Lol, yeah, buzz kill. I just play the radio loud enough to drown out the problems but then the ridiculousness of the head in the sand, well, is no way to go about a bran new car. So they took apart my dash, found nothing, put it back together and claimed it fixed. Not the case. It...

I just got the Mazda Cx-5 remote starter installed, and it's a total fail. I really don't recommend it. It's expensive for nothing. I regret not going with the Compustar. I am however going to tell Mazda to get that piece of crap out of there. The problem with the alternative starters...

This is much more pricey than painting your callipers, but a good option. Should last as long as the car: www.calipercovers.net

Hi, Can you show some pics of how you did the "sound deadening"? Or explanation or link? Thanks!

...how's the ride? Is it much ruffer? Handling? Do you loose much gas mileage? For sure, it's looks most excellent.

Has anyone noticed a thread with installation details and pics? Last time I took apart a door panel it wasn't so spiffy.

lol -- yea, life decisions not so good. I'm having second thoughts about parenting for gawd sakes. Never mind the car or a bad tattoo. lol. But... full story is that this car is about 75% for my wife. So it's not for me. So I should apologize for crying out loud, shut-up and quit ruining it for...

True. Maybe I'm crying a bit early as well. The car gives me anxiety for some reason, and that may not be the car's problem, but my own chemical imbalance. Bad visibility and loud chirpy motor noise probably only need getting used to. As for the gas mileage, I've yet to hit 4000 miles, and...

I found out the hard way that mileage is sales crap. This CX-5 sounds like a cross between a horde of locusts, a wind-up toy and tiny blown engine. My neighbour, who has an Audi Q5 get just about the same mileage as me. It's an insignificant difference. Maybe if we run both our cars on idle or...

The CX-5 cabin noise is fair at best. We had a busted up lemon of a 1998 CR-V... so it had noise issues... yet, it wasn't much worse than a bran new car. So I'd say stick with your Honda, especially if you know it's not a lemon. Keep it.

ANy updates on this? At first I thought a back-up camera would be useless, but now I find the visibility pretty bad in this car. I'll probably get used to it, however, if I can add the camera for $300, I'd seriously consider it.

Apparently you can just upgrade to something like an Alpine 6.5 SPS-610 in your front doors and the two tweeters for the dash without any new wiring -- all together you can probably have that installed for about $200. I have not seen this with my own eyes, but that's probably what I'll end up...

...the mechanic told me it's "normal". Had I known, I would never had bought this otherwise fine automobile. But that noise can drive you mental, and it does seem to be worse when the car is cold... so I've not yet had it in winter and I'm not looking forward to that. A bran new car should not...

...funny, when the dealer was selling me the car it was: "It's a Skyactive motor!" With enthusiasm. ...then, when I inquired about the locusts in my motor, the mechanic said: "It's a Skyactive motor, it's noisy as hell!" looking at me like I'm an idiot for not knowing. So I guess this is all...

Here they put on some 20s -- looks pretty sweet, but apparently that's all you'll benefit from. Please correct on this info, but the dealer told me that if I did this option, I would get super bad mileage and a ruff ride with no handling. ...
