Ok this is hard to explain,

I get this bell type ball bearing sound when I am accelerating in 5th gear (im sure it happens more but my car is too loud in other gears) Like if im going 60 in 5th and I push the gas a good amount. I can hear it.

Now i have heard this sound when i have almost stalled and have heard it on other cars that stalled.

It sounds like bells or metal ***** taping each other dunno how else to explain the sound. My timing belt is a little lose (dont know if that could cause any sounds like that)

I have searched but donno what key words i would check out to find it.

Do you have any idea where the sound is coming from can you hear it at idle?

 

how can u push 60 on 5th?...thats like bogging the engine dude...hhmm do u hear the sound when your accelerating or when u take ur foot off the throttle...i have the same sound but i only hear it when i take my foot off the throttle...except mine is louder in lower gears.

 

timing belt is loose? is it possible it jumped teeth?

 

Timing belt is a little loose, but no way loose enough to jump teeth.

it does not make the sound at idle

I cruze on the freeway 60+ to what ever in 5th. I only hear it when im accelerating.
I have heard it in lower gears also tho, its not just 5th, its just easier to hear then.

I its just weird cause i have heard it on other civics when they stall, but not accelerating.
I may just ignore the sound tho it does not SEEM like its causing a problem but just odd. Ill just turn my radio up more maybe hehe. Just seeing if anyone else has noticed anything similar.

 

do you have a short shifter? i had that noise and it was my short shifter..

 

Pinging? Check ignition timing.

 

Yes i have a short shifter (b&M) I think?? was the short shifter touching something?

its more of a bell sound not much of a pinging sound but i will check the timing anyway, i checked it about 5 months ago and it was fine but i will check again.
