Best Answer

There could be a number of causes.

If the car is making the sound whilst stationary it could be a slipping fanbelt, or could be a problem with bearings. Water pump bearings are a common cause of such noise.

If the noise is occurring only whilst travelling. It could be wheel bearings or rubbing brakes.

Why is your hamster making loud sounds?

Im not a vet or a scientist, i just own my own hamster. I have heard my hamster playing in its cage, and suddenly make a loud SQUEAK. I havent noticed anything wrong with her when she does that, it just seems that she squeaks less when i take her out more. It might be a good idea to check your hamster over every once in a while, because a squeak may be a sign that your hamster hurt itself. These cuts can get infected, and become an abcess.


Brakes were replaced on a 1997 ford explorer xlt all they do is squeak now they have been looked at twice by the person who put them in and another mechanic they cant find anything wrong whats wrong?

Needs Hi-temp brake pad grease on the back side of the pads. This should fix the problem if rotors are new or have been turned as well as new brake pads. Brakes squeak from a variety of causes. Is it a front or rear squeak? You may need to have the rotors turned or replaced if no one is able to turn them.

1999 ford zx2 seems to make a loud noise when stationary but not when you accelerate is it the idle timing belts have been changed and also a tuneup has been done?

Is the loud noise an intermittent squeak? My 1998 ZX2 had a very annoying loud squeak that turned out to be due to the use of the wrong PCV valve. The ZX2 2.0L engine apparently comes in SOHC and DOHC versions and if you use the PCV valve intended for the SOHC engine in the DOHC engine, you will get the squeak. Before I knew this, more than one garage has installed the wrong one on my ZX2.
