surmsed Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I have a clicking noise when in motion, sounds from the driver's seat to be coming from nearside rear. 2001 1.6 Sigma Roadsport SV. Oops, typo, should read 2011! Noise is a little like when we used to attach card to the bike frame with a clothes peg and have it clicking in the spokes. Seems to be there as soon as in motion with frequency increasing with speed but does not change in frequency when changing gear. By time I get up to 50mph can no longer hear it but that is due to it being drowned out. Have checked to see if anything is loose around the nearside rear wheel but can't find anything obvious. Any ideas anyone? Edited by - Surms on 23 Aug 2014 20:14:41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted August 23, 2014 Member Share Posted August 23, 2014 I find it really hard to locate the sources of noises on the 7. I'd get someone else to listen and point (or swap seats) and widen the areas you're inspecting. Take the wheels off and have a good look at the discs. The handbrake cables often slap other bits, but not with the effect that you've described. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanium7 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I had something similar but more of a clicking once and it turned out to be the Front bearing? To check, jack up front and check if there is play in the bearing. Edited by - Titanium7 on 23 Aug 2014 19:46:47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankee Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I put a stick-on wheel weight a little too close to the edge of the inside of the rim once and it caught the end of the de Dion tube on each wheel rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
