We’ve all been there. Bombing down the street, wind in our hair from the cracks that the defrost vent made in our windshield, fully sideways, powersliding loosely around an apex while crushing a can of Monster.

But then you hear it. At first, you think it was a creation of your fevered imagination, some sort of subconscious repentance for your hubris. But then - a squeak, a rattle, a dreaded thumping sound?

Use this guide to help diagnose what your Subaru’s sounds mean.

Q : My Subaru is making a noise.
A : Turn the radio up until you can’t hear it anymore.

Q : My Subaru’s stereo no longer functions because I blew out my speakers from turning the volume up too far, and the broken speakers are rattling in the door.
A : Roll down the windows and drive faster.

Q : There is a strange warbling sound behind me and my rear view mirrors are flashing blue and red lights.
A : Accelerate and take corners aggressively until the noise and warning lights subside.
