Re: Humming sound..can't figure it out..audio attached

Thanks for that SuperHerman. To address your earlier point...I did just replace the transmission fluid so I know that is fine but I have not checked the differentials I probably should do that. I was thinking this wasn't a wheel bearing noise but it seems in your case that it was which is interestin...

hmmm...mine sounds like it is coming from the front. Were you able to hear the audio?

Re: Humming sound..can't figure it out..audio attached

Latest update. My guys pulled the wheel bearings and they were 144k old but felt good. They will be replaced regardless as I bought new ones. I will swap out the left CV as I have a spare with only 75k on it, just to eliminate one other item. In the process they found metal in the chain drive front...

Re: Humming sound..can't figure it out..audio attached

Ok great I appreciate you giving updates on this. The weather here has been to bad for me to go out and lay under the car to look at the engine mounts. The car drives so perfect I haven o idea what the source is. I hope the wheel bearings solve it for you...this has to be getting expensive for you. ...

Re: Humming sound..can't figure it out..audio attached

It is difficult to determine just what I am hearing in the audio/video, but it sounds like the droning (loud, then softer, then louder again) of a beat frequency. Happens when at least two frequencies are very similar to each other, but not exactly the same. The beat frequency is the difference bet...

Re: Humming sound..can't figure it out..audio attached

Great thanks for keeping me in the loop. Mine is most prevalent in that 68mph range as well but then dies at 70. I am beginning to think tires as well...and if so I will keep driving as is. Look forward to what new tires does for you.

Re: Humming sound..can't figure it out..audio attached

Here is an update. I sent the car off with my mechanic to have several things tended to. My shoulder is still recovering from a ski injury and at $50/hr I will pay that any day. That said, the shop checked the wheel bearings and they were fine. They put the car on the hoist, ran it and isolated the...

Re: Humming sound..can't figure it out..audio attached

Haven't had a chance to check the mounts yet as the weather has been bad...however I haven noticed something. When I swerve to the right the sound goes away briefly and then returns when I drive straight again. When I swerve to the left the sound gets worse. Does this attribute to anything?

Re: Humming sound..can't figure it out..audio attached

If you turn up your speakers you can hear a droning sound. I am thinking bow that it is not wheel bearings. Also, it does not go away if I let off the gas....this one is a tough one.
