Default 2012 Dodge Journey - 3.6l motor making hollow out noise at idle

Hey Guys,

This morning I had a neighbour knock at my door after I remote started my Journey and well everything was explanatory after that. I was wondering what the noise was when I was inside my house. And well when I opened the door well it was really loud and was coming from my Journey bottom of the motor passenger side. Please let me know what you make of it.

Listen carefully to it. You think the louder noise is the engine running. It's not. It's a very loud howling sound.

I think you should just bring it in, still under warranty right?


Muffler got a hole in it?

Sorry but 5 seconds of a random sound and no video leaves me pretty much clueless. Kinda sounds like a vacuum cleaner. Lol. I agree with the dealer idea.
