I suggest you have your mechanic check it out. Someone is going to need to be at the car to hear and pinpoint the noise's location. They will also probably need to run some diagnostic tests.

Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

Then maybe it's time to find a different mechanic and have it towed there.

You can't get an accurate diagnosis this way. Someone knowledgeable has to be there to listen to it.
