I am going to guess high pressure fuel pump is about to go. Based on its location and when the sound is showing up.


Sounds can be a PITA. I had what I thought was a sound that ended up being a mix of two things. The more constant bird noise Ford found and fixed, bed not bolted down right on one side... The other a member here found. That said; video of the noise were uploaded helping said member step in and say "go grease this and the birds will stop". Then it was quiet and I liked the truck so much more. Sounds like that can drive some people crazy. So I get that part.

And in the middle of the talk towards the solution was the odd smartass answer of add a bigger speaker, stop feeding the bird, etc

Lighten up my friend. All jokes aside, could be a myriad of things possibly. Quite a few did get mentioned already with the light hearted humor thrown in. Life is to short to get into a tizzy about simple stuff. You’re under warranty most likely so in the end if it is something serious it will get sorted out.

Questions for you: Do you have an engine cover? Most don’t now, they do make a difference on how much you hear injectors or high pressure fuel pump. They’re both fairly loud and can easily make it sound like your dash is making noise. It comes and goes to depending on how heavy your foot is on acceleration.

Next is the HVAC systems. They have been a problem for some here but pretty rare. They make different sounds though.

Without some kind of reference it’s is difficult to help you.

But, when all else fails a damper can fix just about anything! (Alright I had to get one in there!)

Mine goes "culumpty culumpty culumpty wooshey boom-boom wassha wassha eyyyeaaa blatt .
But, it only happens in reverse while turning right and brakeing.
Damn...I'm still trying to figure out what a computer chip sounds like !
Maybe if we had told him to spray some 303 on it.......

I would recommend a dampener to best solve the issue.

yeah although a damper might be effective I'm thinking since it's seems to be a constant noise that a dampener may be the way to go, apologies to AZscorpion but you can't win em all.

Probably the hated fake engine noise...which I like.
well could it be that it's a fake "computer processing sound" after all there is a chip shortage and if Ford can fake a v8 acceleration sound maybe a fake computer processing sound makes the vehicle operator falsely believe he is driving with a full chipset ?

Looks like I'm wasting my time asking in the wrong forum.
Instead of mechanical competency all I've found is attitude and immaturity.
My 21 scab makes a click sound from under driver dash that gets annoying, but it usually only happens when applying gas pedal initially from a stop. Not sure but maybe that noise I'm hearing is HPFP. Hopefully someone can chime in soon with a plausible answer

Mines goes “Nyuck, Nyuck, Nyuck, whoopity whoopity, whoop, Smack!, Oooooooh, Wiseguy, Bonk!”

It stops when I say, “Knock it off you knuckleheads”.
