AI CAR SOUND DIAGNOSIS · SOUND + OBD-II INTELLIGENCE

Your Car Is Making A Strange Noise. Find Out Why.

Upload your engine noise or vehicle sound recording and let AI analyze possible mechanical causes. For a deeper diagnosis, add your OBD-II fault code and combine two signals: what your car sounds like and what your computer reports.

Your car already gives clues. We combine them.

A mechanic listens to the sound. A scanner reads the code. Carithm brings both together.

Traditional diagnosis

  • Sound alone can have many possible causes
  • OBD codes only detect electronic faults
  • Early mechanical problems can be missed

Carithm approach

  • Analyzes vehicle sound patterns
  • Uses OBD-II codes as additional evidence
  • Ranks possible causes and checks

Hear What Your Car Is Trying To Tell You

Record a noise from your engine, upload a clip, and get possible causes. Have an OBD-II code? Add it to combine both signals.

Works on any phone, tablet, or desktop — nothing to install. Open full diagnoser in a new tab →

Carithm provides possible causes and diagnostic guidance. Always confirm repairs with a qualified technician.

Fleet & Logistics

Catch it before the route does

Drivers or dispatch record a noise the moment it's noticed. No app rollout — it runs in the browser they already have.

Workshops & Service Centers

A faster first read

Give advisors a quick starting point on a noise complaint before committing a bay and a technician's hour to it.

Dealerships & Resellers

Screen before you price

Check trade-ins and incoming inventory for developing mechanical noise before a car goes on the lot.

Rental & Leasing

Catch it between rentals

Spot developing issues on high-turnover vehicles before the next customer does.

How it works

Three steps, done from a phone or a service desk.

STEP 1

Record or upload

Capture the noise close to its source. Add an OBD-II code too, if one's available — it's optional but sharpens the read.

STEP 2

Cross-reference

The recording is compared against known mechanical sound patterns, alongside the code if one was provided.

STEP 3

Get a ranked read

Likely causes, an urgency read, and what to check first — before shop time gets committed to it.

Frequently asked questions

Can AI diagnose car problems?

AI can analyze vehicle sounds and combine them with OBD-II information to suggest possible causes. It is designed to help identify likely issues faster, but final repairs should always be confirmed by a qualified mechanic.

Can AI identify a car noise?

AI can analyze vehicle sound patterns and suggest possible causes. Carithm combines sound analysis with optional OBD-II information to provide additional context.

What is this car noise my vehicle is making?

Upload a recording of the sound and Carithm will analyze the audio to identify possible mechanical causes and recommended checks.

Can this be used across a whole fleet or multiple locations?

Yes. Since it runs in any browser with no installation, dispatch staff, drivers, or technicians at any location can record and submit a sound the same way — wherever your operation is based.

Does adding an OBD-II code actually improve accuracy?

It narrows the range of likely causes. Many mechanical noises — worn belts, bearing wear, suspension knock — never trigger a fault code, so sound alone often has to do the work. When a code is available, cross-referencing it against the sound gives a tighter, more specific read than either signal on its own.

Do our technicians need to install anything?

No. The diagnoser runs directly in a browser on any phone, tablet, or desktop — nothing to install or roll out across a team.

Is this built for individual car owners or for businesses?

The underlying tool works for either, but this page and workflow are set up for teams — fleets, workshops, dealerships, and rental operators — who are triaging noise complaints across more than one vehicle.

Which vehicle makes and years does it support?

It's built around mainstream makes and models used worldwide. If you run a specific fleet mix and want to check fit before rolling it out, reach out and we'll take a look.

Is there a cost for higher-volume business use?

The diagnoser is currently free to use. If you're looking at consistent, higher-volume use across a fleet or multiple branches, contact us directly and we'll talk through what that looks like.
