So the problem is i get a noise that just sounds like a continuous note. It is getting embarrassing when driving through town. It seems to happen the most when ive done a few miles (i travel 16 miles to work) it only stops when i hit the brakes. It has just passed it mot. any ideas? Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Sep 27, 2011, 6:02 AM Post #2 of 4 (1730 views) Re: Tuneful noise Sign In Guess: Perhaps/probably brake noise from inadequate brake work, a problem or cheap parts? Hard to say but in that it goes away when braking is a strong clue, T gailf900 New User Sep 28, 2011, 12:46 AM Post #3 of 4 (1703 views) Re: Tuneful noise Sign In thanks tom. someone said it was the wheels and road surface noise but it didnt go when the surface changed. Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Sep 28, 2011, 7:39 AM Post #4 of 4 (1696 views) Re: Tuneful noise Sign In I never suggest changing tires by size but probably not the current issue. Brake pads frequently come with a noise maker to alert you they are at the end and the noise is real annoying and goes away typically at first when brakes are applied. Gotta check and even if newer the noise maker could be bent out of adjustment. Anything that rotates need be checked, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
