So returning from Orlando last week I noticed a buzzing noise emanating from my car that was not previously there and that's not my exhaust lol
Its seems to vary with speed of car (rotational) not engine RPM so I have ruled out an exhaust leak or blown muffler/silencer (I have no catalytic converter).
I'll drive along and put the car in neutral (MTX btw), and there will be this hummmmmmm, or buzzing noise that was not there before. Sounds like it coming from engine compartment area (front of car), and there is a slight vibration through the gas pedal. The sound varies with speed of car and if I make a hard left or right turn the noise seems to increase slightly. Sooooo, I'm just looking for suggestions on where to start looking. Thanks
I can tell you what it's not: FOG horn from CAI, exhaust
Buzzig noise

Or you may have a wheel bearing going bad.

That is usually how it works, but not 100% of the time. These neons are very crafty at creating confusing symptoms.Hudson_Neon wrote:problem is that if its say the right wheel bearing and you make a right and unload it, the noise gets quieter. his noise gets louder no matter what
It will also depend on how much play the bearing has developed too, as to how much affect the turn one direction method has. If it is still tight, it won't load/unload as much as a sloppy one.
We all know the sloppy ones feel the need to make more noise.
