It makes noises at 35/65? All i know is any other setting except for 35/65 makes noises in my car =P
Also, the STi's transmission is pretty noisy, it could just be the gearbox drag.

the dccd will make noise if the car is still in the break in period. if you are turning sharp on an uneven surface it does so also. if it makes those noises on a straightaway, then i'd be concerned.
structurally speaking these cars rock. don't believe me? take out all the carpet and seats and check out the bracing and spot welds. all these noises we hear are normal... with the exception that the strut tops have been known to be weak- resulting in a buckling noise in the rear struts- i've changed 2 struts under warranty(thinking it was the problem) one my my disclaimers when i show a client this car is this- "This car is noisy. You will hear the brakes, road noise, differential(at times)."
if you continue to hear noises that seem foreign to you, just take it in and have it checked-

noises
When one buys an STI, it's for the performance. This might seem like a cop-out of an excuse for all the squeaks, rattles, and whirring a/c noises. But that comes with the territory. Ferraris, Porsches, Lamborghinis have their share of these same noises. Don't believe me? Don't have too. But thems the facts.

ok your car is ****ed up and is probably a lemon. Bring it back to the dealer and demand a refund. You should still be covered under the lemon law.
Ya should have bought an 04. Thank you for playing, come again soon.

The manual says the rear diff might make noises. Mine does at low speeds when turning and of course when I launch like I stole it.
My '05 has no other noises except the Potenzas get a kind of harmonic sound on the highway sometimes around 80 and 140

Car Info: 2002 Sooby WRX (not runing right)
I drove a Dodge Viper Venom 800 and that thing was so wobbly loose and rattly, the AC barely worked, it clunked poped and banged, sqeeked, and slamed every inch of cheasy american plastic all over the place. What an ugly driving car, handles like ****, sounds good tho :P cant stop for the life of it, was doing only 80 or so when a guy ran out in front of me and the thing slid all over the damn place lol what a POS. My STI is 200x the car that is a few rattles here and there on a rough road is nothing. Point said.
