Methods and apparatus are provided for diagnosing a vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes: initiating, by a processor, a recording of a noise by at least one microphone based on user selection data from a user of the vehicle; receiving, by the processor, audio signal data based on the recording; generating, by the processor, vector data based on the audio signal data; processing, by the processor, the vector data with at least one trained machine, by the processor, learning model to determine a classification of the noise; predicting, by the processor, an action to be taken based on the classification; and storing, by the processor, the audio signal data, the classification, and the action in a datastore.
