strong humming, slight vibration in 2003 XC70

Post by tagrant »

I recently took a trip to VT and on my way up a steep snow slicked ascent
my AWD did not kick in and backwheels were not moving at all. I really
accelerated the RPM's to get up the hill moving back and forth.

On my way home to RI the car seems to be louder than usual and I can't figure out if is coming from the transmission or tire misalignment. Even around town the noise shows up when the cart gets about 25 rpm. As my wife would say it sounds like she is in an airplane. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

TG
