Diagnosing Car Noises: The Weber Automotive Approach

When Your Car Goes "Wonka, Wonka, Chika, Chika"

At Weber Automotive, we specialize in the art and science of diagnosing car noises with unmatched precision and professionalism. Whether you hear a mysterious “wonka, wonka” or a rhythmic “chika, chika,” these sounds are more than just annoying—they're clues.

Our team understands that every noise could point to a different underlying mechanical issue. That’s why we use a proven, high-tech process to investigate and resolve each one, ensuring your vehicle runs smoothly and silently again.

Unraveling the Mystery Behind Car Noises

Step 1: Understanding the Noise

Every diagnosis begins by identifying the exact noise the customer is hearing. This often includes:

• Listening during a test drive

• Having the customer replicate or describe the sound

• Clarifying when and under what conditions the noise occurs

Pinpointing the noise early ensures we focus on the right problem from the start.

Step 2: Advanced Tools for Accurate Diagnosis

Once identified, we turn to state-of-the-art diagnostic tools—especially the NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) system. This tool allows us to:

• Attach sensors throughout the vehicle

• Capture sound, vibration, and harmonic data

• Use a lab scope to interpret unique frequency patterns

Here’s how it helps:

• Engine noises are linked to RPM and frequency patterns.

• Drive shaft or transmission noises present different harmonic signatures.

Step 3: Simulating Conditions

Sometimes, noises only occur during specific actions like accelerating or turning—conditions that may not always happen during a road test.

To solve this, we simulate real-world conditions:

• Lifting the vehicle to mimic acceleration

• Replicating vehicle load conditions

• Forcing the scenario until the noise appears consistently

Accuracy Over Assumptions

Why We Diagnose, Not Guess

Our approach is like detective work. We don’t believe in guessing or throwing parts at a problem. Instead, we:

• Systematically test all possible causes

• Rule out unrelated variables (including… bowling balls in the trunk!)

• Focus on solving—not just silencing—the issue

This saves you time, money, and the frustration of repeat visits.
