LESS Cowbell Please!!!

[MatthewDavid]

I'm hearing what sounds like cowbells dangling from the rear end of my car both in forward and reverse at low speeds. It's a pretty obnoxious and embarrassing sound to be coming from my $70k car. I have the DCT. It's abut 50 degrees outside and just started happening. Doesn't seem to matter if the car is cold or warm. Took a quick look underneath without jacking it up and nothing is hanging or looks funny.

Anyone else hearing this??? Is something wrong with my diff???

Common problem. It's rocks hitting the dust shield. Couple of people have experienced this. Drive the car hard a bit and it will shake out. There's some threads talking about this.

I had the same problem. It eventually went away after the rocks knocked loose.

I don't think that's it man. It's persisted for a couple days. I've driven the car hard to see if it shakes the rocks free since I've heard this before, but it doesn't get better. Did you take the car in or the wheels off to look / clean it out?

I would agree that it is small rock or rocks betweeen the brake rotor and the aluminum shield.....it has happened to me 3 times in 20,000 miles....longest it lasted was 2 days....it will go away....just keep driving...good luck.
