Our '30 Roadster has a distinctive ringing sound that emmanates from somewhere on the dash or in front of it while driving. All attempts to issolate it by pushing on pieces and parts while going down the road have been for naught. The sound is loud enough to be a ring tone on your cell phone. It is not quite as brrringy as an alarm clock, but it is distractingly ringy. My co-pilot agrees that the car is ringing. (It is not something going on in my head.)
This is a lot more annoying than a pop bottle rolling around inside a door. I worry that some piece of 80-year-old sheetmetal is screaming out in stress and is just about to come apart.
Anyone had a similar problem with squeeks, squeels, or rings -- and found the source?
How did you fix it?
