What Causes the Squeaking Sound in the Engine When Driving Through Water?

[MacAriel]

There are generally two reasons for a sizzling sound after the engine starts: The car has not been started for a long time: If the car has not been used for an extended period, the engine oil will return to the oil pan. When the vehicle is started, the valves will lack the sealing and lubrication provided by the oil, resulting in a sizzling sound. This is a normal condition. Belt malfunction: An abnormal noise coming from the belt during startup indicates that the belt may have an issue, and it should be checked promptly. Below is relevant information: Brake pads getting wet: If the car drives through shallow water and water splashes onto the brake pads, a squealing sound when braking is normal. This situation only requires normal driving until the water on the brake pads wears off. Foreign objects on brake pads: If the car drives through deeper water, foreign objects such as plastic bags, paper, or mud may get stuck on the brake pads, causing noise when braking. In this case, the brake pads should be cleaned thoroughly.
