Hello!

Does this noise happen when in park at a stand still or only when rolling or driving?

Does this noise change at all when you hit the brakes? What about when you accelerate?

Customer replied349 days and 2 hours ago.

I only hear this when moving and it's not all the time just a few times while driving. honestly I only notice it when I accelerate fast.

Ok.. please keep in mind I cannot see your vehicle and I cannot hear this noise. But I will try my best.

Sometimes the exhaust can rattle or the heat shields on the exhaust can rattle when driving, going over bumps, under certain engine RPM's or all of the time.. it just depends on where this is and how this part is going bad.

Also, there can be a plastic or rubber under part covering the engine underneath that can either drag on the ground or hit the wheels when turning at times.

Another possible cause would be bad wheel bearings or parts related to the drive shaft like u joints.

Last but not least, the brakes themselves can be an issue. The pads could be worn down to the metal or the sensors, the calipers can be sticking or the shims on back of the pads could be falling out rubbing on something causing this sort of noise.

Just a few things to check. I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, please let me know!

Hello!

Just so you are aware, the rating you have given was negative. It will now affect my feedback ratings in a negative way. I am not sure why you gave me a negative rating. I am only trying to help you. Please reply back to me and let me know what I can clear up for you.
