Default Another WEIRD noise thread..

Whenever I accelerate my car from stop or low speed, I hear this weird noise coming from the front/bottom or front bottom of my car. It sounds like 2 thin sheets of metal flapping/grinding against each other. This noise only occurs when I accelerate though, even at high speed acceleration it occurs also, just less noticeable due to the wind and louder engine sounds. I have had this issue about 3 months back, but I solved it by removing this metal ring fastener around my 3rd cat underneath the car. This time, I really have no idea where its coming from.

Also, I have a slight squeaking noise from whenever I go over bumps or uneven roads on my front driver side. Is it my shocks/struts going out? Ride feels ehhh...I forgot how it truly feels to run optimally, but then again, my car is a world's difference from the flimsy feeling of driving Hondas and such.

I noticed a couple weird noises while driving my car today.

First, which I think has already been mentioned when I brake I hear a mechanical noise comming from in front of me on the drivers side.

Second, is after I let my foot off the gas pedel and I am coasting... I hear this "howling" type of sound ?!?!? I dont know if this has something to due with the aerodynamics or what but it is QUITE annoying.

It's probably just your tires ...
