Why is there abnormal noise in Audi tires?
2 Answers
Audi tires may produce abnormal noise due to foreign objects on the tires, damage to the outer CV joint of the left front axle, failure of the shock absorber, wear of the ball joints or bushings in the chassis suspension, or a faulty left front wheel hub bearing. Solutions: If there is a rhythmic 'clicking' sound, check for foreign objects on the tires, such as stones or nails, after stopping the car. Solutions: If there is intermittent 'clunking' or knocking sounds when turning, going over bumps, or driving on rough roads, visit a repair shop as soon as possible to eliminate potential safety hazards. Solutions: If a noticeable humming sound is heard while driving, which increases with speed, replace the faulty left front wheel hub bearing.
When I first drove an Audi, I also wondered why the tires made strange noises. Later, through my own exploration, I found that common causes include stones or nails stuck in the tire tread, which create a 'creaking' sound while driving. If the tire wears unevenly, such as one side being thinner, it can also produce a harsh noise. Another possibility is wheel imbalance causing vibration and strange sounds, or loose suspension components like ball joints making a 'clicking' noise when turning. I suggest first stopping to check if there are any foreign objects on the tire tread and carefully removing them with a screwdriver. If the noise increases at high speeds, it might be a bearing issue requiring professional diagnosis. Don’t underestimate these sounds—routine maintenance, like checking tire pressure and wear during car washes, can prevent most problems. Safe driving starts with attention to detail.
