Yet another buzzing coming from my car thread

shadowmonk · 01-16-2009, 01:39 PM

Hi all!

I was driving around today and noticed a pretty loud buzzing sound coming from what seemed to be right around the driver side in the front of the car. It would only happen occasionally, but it sounds like something is loose or rubbing against something else. It's hard to explain, but has anyone heard a buzzing sound coming from the driver area of the car?

Buzzing sounds are normal for me. Even after I get out of the car.

I have not, but if the weather is bad and everything is dirty as hell check the front for something loose or flapping. Dirt, muck or grime builds up changes the way air travels around your car and you can weird noises. Buzzing would indicate something flapping or rubbing. Hanging debree or built up ice in the wheel wells maybe.

you mean a rattle? In the winter i always tend to hear a bunch of rattles in the car. During the summer my M had a lot less rattles but now the cold temps with 19" rims only make things worse
