Could be a couple of things, cheapest was to go is balance you tires. Then if still there, raise the car until you can spin the wheel, grab hold on strut spring and give it a good spin. Any vibration or or grinding sound you need a wheel bearing. If none you might need an alignment....
A bad wheel bearing
Bearings misassembled, tire nosie, brake noise, noise in axle, noise in transmission, etc.
There could be a humming noise from the engine of a 2002 Toyota Corolla because of low oil or a fouled spark plug. It can also indicate a more serious problem.
Check the heat shield on the catalytic converter
You need to check the front wheel bearings, while driveing down the road stright turn the steering to the left and then to the right and listen to see if the hum noise changes, if not then both bearings are bad left and right sides. If the hum noise changes while turning to the left then right front bearings are bad , if hum noise changes while weaven to the right then left bearings are bad.
replace hub or wheel bearings.
From the rear it could be the differential, however those front differentials are notorious for making noise. That whining noise derives from the viscous coupler, and is normal. Bring it to a dealer, not some crappy backyard mechanic. And have a certified Toyota TECHNICIAN inspect the front an rear differential, transmission, and wheel bearings (but those typically hum when bad), I almost gurantee you just hear the viscous coupler noise.
No, bad front wheel bearings would not prevent a transmission from shifting. If your car has bad front wheel bearings you will notice wheel noise or wheel looseness.
Probably the front hub bearings. I've replaced mine four times. Sounds great after they're replaced, but eventually the hub bearings start whining again. I'm not sure what the root of the problem is, but I'm beginning to suspect it's a design defect.
Started with turning right now it's while driving and it's not a constant noise. Just started today
yes
It'sd in the front. Activate it and listen for where the noise comes from. Also, consider asking this question again, but use Toyota Corolla instead of Pontiac Lemans.
