Hyundai car making strange noise
Hi.
We have a Hyundai Accent GS car (2001) that's been making this bizarre "clicking" or "creaking" noise while driving it. I recorded a sample here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?2md3oydznvm There's two instances of the noise in this clip starting at about 0.8 and 2.3 seconds. You may have to turn up the volume a little and listen close as it seems to have gotten more drowned out in the recording than it is when listening with the ear. What could be causing this? It sounds like it's coming from the front passenger quadrant of the car, maybe the wheel area, but I'm not sure. |

Actually, it's almost impossible to tell what the noise is just from a recording. I'd have to actually drive the car at different speeds, over different terrain (smooth, bumpy, rough, etc), speeding up, slowing down, turning left, right, braking and so on.... to try and narrow it down to the most likely causes. Then it's back to the shop, up on the hoist, and start prying and twisting parts to pinpoint the noise. |

And that's the rub. It doesn't seem to correlate with anything specifically... it happens on smooth roads, rough roads, at different speeds... |
Re: Hyundai car making strange noise
Does your accent have hub caps?

Re: Hyundai car making strange noise
My diagnosis: If it didn't make strange noises, it wouldn't be a Hyundai As long as the wheels turn in the proper direction when you want them to...you're getting your money's worth. Nick |

They do move when the weight is shifted or the wheel is turned and stressed. Be sure they are on tight. |
Re: Hyundai car making strange noise
I have had cars with hub caps that somehow got a small stone in them. That
would describe the noise you describe. Also as said by someone else - be sure they are on tight.

Re: Hyundai car making strange noise
In Fact remove the caps and see if noise disappears.

Re: Hyundai car making strange noise
Sorry Mike, I also subscribe to the alt.support.hardofhearing newsgroup, so
no, I did not listen to the recording. Wouldnt do me any good without closed captioning. Just trying to assist here. I suggested you remove the hub caps and see if the noise disappears, if not then I can be of no further help to you.

What exactly am I supposed to be looking for? I tried wiggling it with my hand and I didn't notice anything weird about it. If I didn't think the suggestion viable, then I wouldn't have done that. If my "test" was done wrong, then how should I test it right? |
