Abnormal Noise from Car Wheels?
2 Answers
Tire surface contaminated with debris, small stones lodged in tire tread gaps, or aging tire treads, etc. Specific solutions are as follows: 1. Check tire pressure: Under normal circumstances, the tire pressure of all four tires should be consistent and maintained at the normal value. If the tire pressure is 20% below the normal level, tire lifespan may be reduced by 10%. If it frequently drops 30% below normal, tire lifespan could even be shortened by 52%. 2. Regularly remove foreign objects from tires: Foreign objects under pressure may puncture the tire, leading to air leakage or a blowout. 3. Inspect tires: A bulging tire is a precursor to a blowout and is extremely dangerous; immediate replacement is recommended.
My car keeps making a humming noise when driving, sounds like something is rubbing, which is quite unsettling. This is usually a sign of worn wheel hub bearings, becoming more noticeable at higher speeds and could even affect handling. I suggest first stopping to check the tires for any stuck stones or uneven wear. Then test the brakes; if it's a squealing noise, it's likely the brake pads need replacing. If these aren’t the issues, it might be loose suspension or problems with the drive shaft. Don’t delay, get it checked at a professional shop promptly—safety first.
