The actual shapes of Kent-Moore tools may differ from those of special service tools illustrated here, sQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSES, interview the customer if possible, to determine the conditions that exist when the noise occurs, customer's comments; refer to IP-8, "Diagnostic Worksheet".

Conditions that exist when noise occurs, obtain all the facts and conditions that exist when the noise occurs (or does not occur), if there is more than one noise in the vehicle, be sure to diagnose and repair the noise that customer, after identifying the type of noise, isolate the noise in terms of its characteristics.

Are provided so the customer, service adviser and technician are all speaking same language when, squeak —(Like tennis shoes clean floor), squeak characteristics include the light contact/fast movement/brought on by road conditions/hard surfaces = higher pitch noise/softer surfaces = lower pitch noises/edge surface = chirping, creak—(Like walking on an old wooden floor).

Creak characteristics include firm contact/slow movement/twisting with rotational movement/pitch, dependent on materials/often brought by activity, rattle characteristics include the fast repeated contact/vibration similar movement/loose parts/missing, knock —(Like a knock door).

Knock characteristics include hollow sounding/sometimes repeating/often brought by driver action, tick characteristics include gentle contacting of light materials/loose components/can be caused by driver, thump characteristics include softer knock/dead sound often brought by activity, buzz characteristics include high frequency rattle/firm contact.
