    The most annoying noise is that it's too damn quiet!!!!!!.................even at stupid speeds.

    Oh and a nearside balljoint is knocking like Joan Collins at the moment.

    The sound of Con rods exiting the cylinder block is rather irritating.

    Where to start?

    Timing belt cover rubbing. Sounded like chitty chitty bang bang for about 6 months.
    Rear calipers sticking when reversing.
    Going round a corner and theres screwdrivers, pens, phones and that wheel lock bolt thing in the ashtray all cluncking about.

    But worst of all i hate the oil buzzer sound. Its happened to me a few times now and you never get used to it!

    I had not one annoying rattle in my 15yr old toyota....until the gf decided to intentionally slam the passenger door for fun (after i complained for her shutting it slightly aggressively)......it now rattles......dumpable offence do you think?

    LOL the spanners bit...Rather embarassingly one of the scrutineers at Mallory fished out a 13mm spanner from behind my headlight at my last race...I wondered where it had gone!
