Is Your Car Making Strange Noises?
When you drive you occasionally hear strange noises coming from somewhere. Those sounds come in the form of clangs, bangs, and thuds. We often cannot tell ourselves if those are normal sounds, or if something is wrong with our car.
Auto manufacturers spend a lot of time devoted to learning more about NVH (Noise Vibration Harshness) so that they can diagnose where these weird sounds are located. We have some ways to help keep those sounds away from your car so you do not have to worry about them.
Keep Your Car Clean
Removing items and objects that you no longer need your vehicle will get rid of the extra noise that they create. This may seem obvious but keeping your car tidy helps out a lot.
Listen Carefully, Where is the Sound Coming From?
Once you have removed those items from your car, focus and really listen to where the sound is coming from. Are you able to determine the general area that it is from? Do you hear something in the front or back? How about when driving straight? Over bumps or turning left or right?
Here is a helpful tip if you can do it. If you are able to drive by a large wall or barrier with your window down, you can generate the sound and have it bounced back at you. Record the sound if you can. This will help us hear it.
Simple DIY Inspection
Check around the trim and body items of your vehicle. Go do the same for the engine and underbody. Do you feel something that might be loose or broken? This might be causing the sound.
If the racks on your roof, then they might make noise against the wind. If this is the case, then move the crossbars as back as possible when not in use.
Go for a Drive
Drive your car with a mechanic and attempt to make the sound. With an automotive repair professional by your side, you might be able to find out what the sound is and where it is coming from.
