I got my 2013 Honda Fit sport at a little over a hundred thousand miles. It has been making this noise very intermittently since I got it. Before it was only making the noise when I start moving in first gear, but now it makes the noise in just about every gear when I push the gas to a certain point. normally I'd just take it to get diagnostics done, but I'm in a really tight spot financially and I can't afford that right now, but I do however have a friend who can fix it if I can diagnose it myself. if I wasn't expecting my new job to start up in a few months, I would just sell the car.
Can can anyone identify this sound? The noise starting and stopping is corresponding to me pressing the gas. My guess was throwout bearing but I know next to nothing about cars.

your post needs a working link to the sound.

 

Link worked for me, had to paste it into browser.

Dunno man, sounds like shit. Can't really tell what it is. Literally a thousand things it could be.

Yeah I understand diagnosing by sound can be that way but I appreciate you trying. I was just curious if it jumped out as something someone recognized, ya know

 

at about 15-16 seconds in it sounds like a bad tire/bearing.

 

That wouldn't be it if it's corresponding to me hitting the gas, though. My tires are quite loud tho, they're $100 Craiglist snowies

 

Yeah I hear what you're talking about. That's just my one tire that leaks. I'm talking about the much louder ratcheting type sound

 

the intermittence, quietness, dont lend themselves to component failures that i i can think of offhand. I'd say to look into exhaust rattle n such. since yer in snow country i bet it sees salt.. for what its worth that does align with throttle position affecting sound.
anyways, just a thought.

 

You don't think it could be a bearing? That's what pretty much everyone else has said but I'm not financially stable enough to just buy the part and see if that's it.

 

Thats not what came to mind. dont anticipate bearings going out all that quick, but there is a quick check you can do to identify suspension component failure. all you need do is lift the front of the vehicle safely and grab a tire. Attempt to shake them up and down, play there would indicate failure of a ball joint. Left and right (it will have some play because of steering linkage, but will feel firm) any slop there would indicate inner/outer tie rod wear. Then try to shake it at angles, all around. that'd be a wheel bearing. only left and right should have any movement. you could also take the wheels off and inspect the rubber bushings there. if they're all goopy, the rubber probably has a small tear in it. when the boots teat, dirt gets in and wrecks those ball in socket type joints. if the boots are damaged but theres no play, plan on replacing stuff in the near future.

EDIT: I found a that will help.

 

Yeah I could pick out the buzzy/rattley noise. I have something similar that happens light throttle around 3-4K rpm. I’m assuming it’s a heat shield or something like that

 

I tried your link again and it worked fine...maybe it was my computers fault for not working earlier.
The sound, to me, seems like something from the interior/under the dash? Does it do the same when parked and giving it gas?
What's the amber warning light on your dash...low tire press.?

 

thats the TPMS, meaning a sensor is bad etc.

 

tire pressure...
