As far as what they sound like, normally you hear nothing unless a shock is broken. There are however warning signs of worn shocks or struts. STEERING
Worn shocks and struts can allow excessive body roll when turning, which affects the vehicle's ability to safely steer around objects in the road. STOPPING
Worn shocks and struts can allow too much weight transfer to the front wheels during braking, which could result in a measurable increase in stopping distance. STABILITY
Worn shocks and struts can allow excessive roll, sway and bounce while the vehicle is in motion, which reduces the driver's control.
Absolutely, electrick shocks will affect CD's greatly. Your CD will sound like a guy who smokes weed all day long and is bound to sound like its in multiple languages due to its proximity to electrick shocks. However, as long as you don't eat lettuce while you listen you should be safe. I stress DO NOT eat lettuce while listening to E. Shocks
Defective rear shocks. Loose exhaust components.
A creaking sound usually is the shocks or struts. It is best to have a mechanic look it over to make sure.
One sound is what is called starter drag, slow turning sound, like Grrr Grrr Grrr
Does it sound like something is running in the rear? If so that is the air compressor located above drivers side rear tire. It is for the rear shocks.
say the goo sound by going like guh and then ooo then the fff sound by going phhhhh then you make the b sound like buh like when you say blasted then you all sound by going like a cowboy and saying y'all but take the y (yuh) sound off then you put it together like this: guh oo pH buh all guh oof buall goof buall goof baaahhl GOOFBALLLLL
Generally, they don't make a sound. When you go over a bump, and your car keeps going "bounce, bounce, bounce" several times before it settles down, your shocks are shot. The shock absorber's job is to damp the car's springs - the springs are the real "shock absorbers". The actual shock absorber is supposed to stop the spring after the first "bounce".
Usually you will here a popping sound when you are in a turn.
I had this problem, the dealer couldn't find it, and it eventuly went away.
When a timing belt is going bad it can make a high-pitched screeching sound. It can sound like a high-pitch whirring noise. Not all timing belts make a noise when they are worn or going bad.
He heard a sound like the shock of a cannon
Not if they are struts - need a spring compressor
