I thought the road noise from my Subaru was bad enough without this, but recently have had a new source of it: my shifter. I pulled off the interior trim piece that goes around my shifter and I narrowed the noise down to being some sort of opening from my shifter to the outside world.
The noise changes when my shifter is in different gears. For instance, fourth and second gear make the worst noise, whereas first/third/fifth all make the sound a bit deeper/lower. When driving, I can stick my hand over the hole where the shifter itself goes down out of the cabin and it sounds like a kind of like seashell, so this hole is the problem area. I feel like maybe something that seals it fell off of the car. Is there a part like this? The sound gets very loud when going 30/35 and higher, especially when in fourth gear (because of the position of the shifter, not the gear itself). What the hell did I do to "break" my car this time?
Lastly, what other information do you guys need? Would a picture be helpful?
Thanks for your troubles guys, and sorry if this is another stupid question like my battery thread.
