Dinging noise under dash
 

2009 Honda Accord EX, 35K miles. 4 cyl. Today I heard a noise I have never heard in a car before. Under the dash in the area of the glove box I heard three "dings". Sounded like someone tapped on a water glass. About five minutes later it did the exact same thing. After that I did not hear it again. My first thought was it was a warning for a low tire but know that is covered by a warng on the dash. I thought it possibly could be from the heating system because I did have my heater on. It was not like a noise I had heard before in another car which was the small a/c door under the dash opening and closing.... No lights were on in the dash... any ideas? :confused:

Hard to call....but there are air mix motors that can "hunt" around and sometimes cause a noise.

Thanks Poorman... This is going to be a hard one. In order to pin point where the sound is coming from I pretty much have to have my head under the dash when it happens and at this point I will assume the car has to be going down the road. Add in that it hasn't done it but twice. Even if I could get a friend to stick his head under the dash while I drive around he could be under there for days. LOL I will just have to wait until the noise happens a lot more ofton.... Thanks again

If you find a friend willing to do that; you might get it to make the sound more often by switching around the ventilation settings as many different ways as you can.
