Default new car has noise

just got a new s2k and there is noise coming from the passenger side footwell. It has noise only when you start off on second at low speeds.

What kind of noise are you talking about? What does it sound like?

That's the music coming from your speaker, it is only audible at low RPMS

it sounds more like a vibration noise. the top is up. it happens when I start up from 5 or 10 mph in second. could that be noise cause by me starting up in second at low speeds?

You're going to hear lots of little noises from this car. Just drive and worry about something else.

Are you sure it is coming from the passenger footwell? Sometimes it can be hard to tell. I found a major vibration coming from my spare tire. I just tightened it up and voila! It drove me nuts for a week before I figured it out.

It's the snap on your wife's purse, she didn't close it tight enough. At least that's my experience...

I have a recurring noise coming from the rear-view mirror. I just readjust it and it goes away for a while.

The other noise maker is the passenger side seat belt clip vibrating against the plastic panel.

Good luck.
