Default Re: Just heard a very loud pop in the car.

I thought about this thread after having a similar experience the other day. I was driving home after school and came to a stop in traffic on a steep hill, inclined upwards. As I was waiting for the light to turn green and traffic to move, I had my foot on the brake, then off the break for a few seconds before traffic moved enough so that I could put my foot on the acceleration and get moving. While my foot was off any pedal, and (I don't know much about cars) it was just the transmission being in 'drive' that was keeping the car from rolling backwards, I heard the exact sound you describe, though, I thought, "just not as loud." Things seem find; I've been a little hyper-vigilant, looking for any little noise or vibration that seems out of the norm, and have noticed some suspicious things but really, nothing that couldn't be explained by admitting to a little healthy paranoia. Really, I would have figured it was my imagination if I hadn't recalled this thread. Sounds like your issue was something totally different, nobody threw anything at my car, but it was weird to experience something so similar.
