Definitely on drivers side but it might be both. Its such a dainty sound. Sounds really tiny like a small metal pin was being bent back and then let go and made a little ping noise. This sound only happens sometimes but its always upon just starting car and just starting to move. Havent noticed it other times than that. Another occurance which may be related or not is the physical key has stopped working to open the door for the valet key. The fob will open door still only. My guess is problem wih lock cylinder. Another relevant fact is that diy tinting was done at one time on all windows but has since been removed from the front windows. This diy tint i believe is the culprit of passenger side window getting stuck at a certain position sometimes although its working better now I think. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

We can't begin to tell you what the issue can be until someone takes this apart and inspects things. With 170K, things get worn out. Door stops wear out, sometimes window linkages gets worn loose. These things have to be found through inspection. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Door(s) that are open or not fully closes, lights still on, seat belts, tire pressure maybe? I'm not sure it needs the key in it or just something left on this or any other vehicle are not all the same to trigger that. A maybe you'll find that info in an owner's manual but doubt it. Lots of versions of Civics. At the miles I'd be looking for where the noise maker is and just see if I could unplug it without some other issue plead IDK it might not like having that messed with??

I was going on the idea it was mechanical. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
