“1997 Mazda B4000 4.0 manual has a extremely loud screaming high-pitched squeal/whistle from engine bay I think IAC. Removed the serpentine belt completely and the noise is still there, so it’s not an accessory. Clutch in/out makes no difference, removing the oil cap makes no difference, and removing/isolating the IAC didn’t change it either. Noise starts as soon as the engine fires and stops immediately when the engine shuts off. It goes quieter when open throttle and then comes louder when off throttle like a vacuum leak or air whistle.

“Alright so I did my timing belt, water pump and idler pullys and such, I bought the whole oem aisin kit and shortly after had to replace my oil pan due to a stripped bolt, checked oil and its full and I took my timing belt cover off and checked all bolts and everything and manually cranked it to move the belt and saw nothing weird so then I started it and let it warm up and and reved it a bit and didnt hear or see anything abnormal but after driving a bit it starts again, any idea what it could be?”source ↗

“No I just wanted to find different ways to see where the knock noise was coming from could be nothing but I found the noise odd so wanted to ask if this was normal”source ↗

“It does NOT make the sound when pressing accelerator in park. Seems to go away when coasting/not accelerating.”source ↗

“Mechanic said he didn't hear a whining and it's probably the tires.”source ↗

“Been looking at videos of various noises and nothing seems to match exactly.”source ↗

“I’m getting a high pitch metal grinding and rhythmic ticking when I go over 40mph, it grows and once I get to about highway speeds it drowns out almost but still there. When I steer right or left is goes away almost completely and when I break or do down hill as well.”source ↗

“Noise is very prominent while driving in gear, its almost a screeching noise, when I let of the gas the screeching is a bit quieter. At around ~15% throttle the noise is gone. I figured it was the Timing Chain or the gearbox so I did both, but the noise remained. HELP!”source ↗

“I started feeling a weird vibration/shudder in the driver seat when driving my Escape, it seems to come on usually in the 50-70km/h range, but sometimes can be felt down at 20, and sometimes it doesn’t happen at all.”source ↗

“I’ve taken it to the mechanic but he said he can’t feel anything at all when he took it for a test drive, he said there were no codes, suspension looked fine etc, so he just said to pick it up because he can’t see anything.”source ↗

“Just did the bearings because i thought thats what it was.”source ↗

“Hi, I need help with identifying what this noise is. It started after I replaced the rear struts.”source ↗

“I got new tires since then along with an alignment. I replaced the rear right wheel bearing today thinking it was that. However, the noise persists.”source ↗

“The noise starts at about 35 mph.”source ↗

“For a while i’ve heard almost like a loud pop here and there, gotten louder over time. pretty sure coming from the right side.”source ↗

“Not sure what it might be, suspension, ball joint, arms, no idea. Still learning.”source ↗

“I heard this flapping sound from inside while I was driving and I'm confident the car was not making this sound prior.”source ↗

“Is this sound normal/not a problem? Or will I be making another visit to them tomorrow?”source ↗

“It just sounds much louder than it used to be so I was worried.”source ↗

“When driving, I hear a loud bass like noise from inside the car, sounds like a race at or truck. It's really loud and obnoxious. Any idea what this could be ?”source ↗

“First 10 mins of driving noise is bad goes away after awhile”source ↗

“Occasionally comes on once the car is warmed up (10~ mins) and stops when i brake for a few seconds. gets louder/quieter with speed as well.”source ↗

“Smooths out around 40mph but can hear it again if I try to accelerate fast again.”source ↗

“Also goes away when I let off the gas.”source ↗

“It sounds like it’s coming from front passenger or center of the car, I changed the cv axle hoping it was that but clearly not.”source ↗

“It used to go away after 20 minutes of driving but now it’s just always there 0-35mph”source ↗

“no idea, it’s not while braking just all the time only audible when slow though, please help it’s driving me insane”source ↗

“The car is making a rhythmic dun dun dun sound. It has new tires, new brakes, new tie rods, new knuckle, new control arm and new axle.”source ↗

“This is not my area of expertise, but from the video, could that slight axle wobble be my issue?”source ↗

“My 2007 Honda CRV (180,020 mi) started to make a new sound that is extra loud when accelerating. I can also feel a bit of extra vibration. It recently started to do this about 80% of the time I use the car.”source ↗

“Recently when I drive my car makes this awful sound. I recorded it in the attached video and this is the sound from inside the car with the windows closed. It started a while ago and it was only when I turned the car to the left but now it’s constantly making that sound.”source ↗

“I had parked in a parking lot outside for a few hours and came back to my car and suddenly there was a loud screeching noise as if something fell off. There was no lights or any other indication to tell what was wrong.”source ↗

“It started screeching horribly before I stopped and brought the car home with the hazards on trying to figure out the issue but had no luck.”source ↗

“Light “tink” sound from front engine compartment… struggling to recreate it.”source ↗

“Was driving through the drive through today with my window down and noticed a really light metallic tinking sound when I left the first window to the second.”source ↗

“I don’t really have much to go on, so it could be pretty much anything at this point.”source ↗

“Today I confirmed it's coming from the rear wheels when spinning them by hand.”source ↗

“It's the deep rhythmic "wub wub wub" sound.”source ↗

“Happens at all speeds, at all times, on the roads. No change when turning.”source ↗

“Either way, now that I'm browsing forums and diagnosing it, I've freaked myself out into thinking it might be dangerous to drive.”source ↗

“I noticed this shield look bent compared to the others, would this be dragging on the rotor or something? I will probably try to take it to a nearby shop this weekend so they can jack it up and take a look.”source ↗

“I keep hearing this humming noise (see video) on and off while the AC is on.”source ↗
