I have a 9.3 aero manual sedan (2006 Australia). Almost since new there
has been this faint tinkling noise that come from behind the front seats
somewhere. It mainly happens when the car suddenly accelerates or
brakes, so it seems to be caused by sudden movement. Quite faint and
best described as sounding like champagne glasses being "toasted" with a
single "tink". It seems to be getting more frequent and the car's being
serviced this week.....hoping someone might be aware of what it is so I
can let the service people know because history has taught me they
aren't real good at working these sort of things out. |

Oh my! I was just going to ask the exact same thing. I just had the same
thing happen today to me for the first time. I usually hear a bit of
shifting and other things in the back of the car, but today, I heard
this really strange tinkling which is just as you describe it. I really
don't know what it was. I did notice that it was really cold today, and
there was ice on the windshields, so I thought that maybe it was because
of that, but now that you mention something about it, I think it must be
something else? Was yours accompanied by a smell? The first time I heard
this was as I was passing an accident, and I suddenly got this wiff of
electrical burnout, and I couldn't tell what was going on. So I listened
more carefully and I heard it with the smell. I wasn't sure if the smell
was coming from the accident or if it was correlated with the sound.
After a bit more driving, I did not hear the tinkling any more, but I
also wasn't doing much hard accelerating or decelerating either.
I would love to know what the answer to this question is.

Well, I am not sure that the smell has anything to do with the noise
that I heard, and that's why I was wondering about whether it was the
same thing or not. However, if you are saying that yours happens once
only and does not occure multiple times throughout changes in
acceleration, then this maybe is not the same thing. Still, I'd like to
know what they say!

Not sure if it's the same thing Aaron. No smell, Now almost
consistently happens whenever I accelerate/brake. Single faint chinking
noise, almost metallic. I'll let the group know what the service
department finds out tomorrow.

My 9-3 aero does that....I'd heard from a friend that it was the turbo but
I haven't had that confirmed by anyone in the know >> Stay informed about: 9.3 tinkling noise |

Just picked the car up from the Saab Service. They heard the noise on
test drive. Felt it was coming from somewhere between the front seats,
maybe seat belt buckles? Couldn't isolate it....they "needed more time"
but didn't have the time to offer them so not been fixed. Hoping them
fiddling around in that area fixed it....? Will monitor it further.
