Noise on start up

[sharon15]

Hello, I have a toyota corolla 2002, and the car suddenly has a zing noice on start up and when you drive. I have had the alternator replaced, timing belt, fan belt, power steering checked and drained and still this car has this noice which is alarming as I cannot find the fault and this exercise has cost me a fortune?Any ideas or Toyota specialist out there?

Hi,

Well a "Zing" from a Corolla is a new sound on me  

Think the best thing is to try and capture the sound on your moby and upload the video so we can get an idea of whats it really sounds like.

Also wonder if the sound changes with an increase in revs or road speed ?

Has the works you mentioned been done by you or a garage ?   Timing belts are not  a beginners diy job.

If its  a garage, wonder why they have not identified the source of the noise if its that obvious and constant ; replacing expensive parts on a whim is not good practice.
