crickets sound.... any ideas??

If im outside the car... and close the door. The impact of the door shutting causes a "crickets" style rattle. Can't tell if its suspension.. or maybe exhaust
related.

Also.. i get the same exact sound when the car is idling while stopped. I can hear it in the car as if its coming from under the dash/firewall area.

It doesn't sound like the AC motor, or SC'r chirp. I believe the two noises are connected and it is really coming from outside the car.

If someone has experienced or even found what this sound might be... i'd love to know.

thanks!

Mine is doing the same thing. I am thinknig ball joints? Does this mean they need to be replaced when they start squeaking?

Well mine is more like a small squeak whenever you get out of the vehicle or in. also when you go slowly you can hear it. I was thinking it was the ball joints but not real sure. It's not near as bad as that video though.
