Here are some audio clips of the sound: https://vocaroo.com/i/s0dRoVEEnlq5 https://vocaroo.com/i/s1Q14PbG2r0S I apologize for the background noise. This is Some more details on the sound: I believe it's coming from the left rear wheel. It's a rotational noise, so the sound you hear in the audio clips are me coasting about 2 mph down my driveway without any brakes applied. That is when it is most noticeable going at parking lot speeds. The faster I start to go, the faster the sound is and the shorter the intervals become until you reach a speed (about 35mph or more) where you can no longer hear the sound. It returns as soon as you slow down. Braking does NOT effect the sound. The sound does NOT occur when i'm reversing, as far as I can tell. Sound still exists regardless of weather. I took it in to a local shop to get diagnosed, and this is their recommended repairs: https://imgur.com/a/JvCGvyR keep in mind that they "thought whatever sound i was describing only happened in cold weather and they really could not identify any sound" but were still looking to charge me $800 for those recommended repairs. Started happening a month or two ago. I'm stubborn when it comes to bringing my car in to get diagnosed or worked on mainly because I still haven't come across a reliable repair shop that hasn't taken advantage of me at some point. (One example being a very highly rated local shop shafted me for about $400 for some "new battery" BS because my car would crank but not start. When the same thing happened a couple weeks later, a 2 minute call with a AAA mechanic suggested it was a fuel pump issue and to pump the gas. That fixed the problem instantly.) I can elaborate more if anyone has any more questions or if i'm missing any info. I'm trying to know what the issue is as soon as possible in case i need it fixed since I will be driving a long distance in my car in a couple days. Thanks!
