So my car is making a squeaking noise that comes and goes. It is normally audible when going at lower speed and starts up after driving for a while. I took it into Porsche and they said they were unable to replicate the noise (as I said, it comes and goes). I have attached a clip of the suspect noise. I'm thinking it might be from the brakes but I'm not sure. If anyone has any idea of what it could be and how it can be fixed, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

I know its probably not it, but i was getting this weird clicking sound coming what seemed like the speedometer area and it was driving me nuts and couldnt figure out whats causing that. At first i thought it was some kind of relay going bad, but then i realized that when i plug in aux into my phone the clicking goes away. I guess the aux cord when not plugged into the phone was touching whatever and transmitting some kind of weird sound. So moral of this post is look for things that are not obvious as well.

Do you mind uploading the video/sound recording to youtube? It'll make it easier to share.

That almost comes and goes with speed or engine revolutions. Pulleys? Anything caught in the wheel/tire areas? Suspension?

It could be the squirrel from Christmas Vacation..:.sorry just watched it recently....

Wheel bearing?

It only occurs when the car is moving, so I don't think it's from the engine.

The Porsche rep said if it was wheel bearings it wouldn't stop making the noise. Like today I went 1 hour without the noise, but yesterday it started making the noise after a few minutes of driving but, again, it's only at slow speed, some of the time... Makes it a PITA to show the Porsche people.

So after paying more attention to the noise, it's goes by tire rotation. So the frequency is directly tied to tire speed if that helps.

Wheel bearing is my best bet. I had one go out on a Land Rover and it was intermittent for a few months until it finally went. I wouldn't hear it for sometimes a couple days, then it went away for the entire summer, then started making a terrible racket in the fall.

You may have a nail or something similar stuck in a tire--as the tire rotates you get the click

Are the brake pads getting old? If so I would change them out and could possibly also fix the sound.

I have a creaking noise coming from the back of my C4S, that is annoying. My salesman said maybe suspension lube? I haven’t had a chance to deal with it
