My car had the same symptoms, got loud at 40, quieted at faster speeds, then got loud again at 60. It turned out to be a problem with the wheel bearings. They replaced the assembly in one of the wheels, $220, and the car sounds normal again.

I posted this earlier. weather the van is in gear or out of gear, driving or braking, as soon as it pass 50 mph it starts to make clunking noises from under the engine. not particular to one particular place but mostly from under the passenger footwell, then under the engine itself and sometimes a quieter noise from under the driver seat area. the noises sound like a chipping of metal or a quick and short grinding noise.

What is over drive for the ford exporer?

Overdrive is an extra gear assembly in the transmission that allows the engine to run at a lower speed (lower RPM) when you are travelling at higher speeds on the highway or freeway. For example, if I am driving my 1995 Explorer at 62 mph in drive, the engine runs at 2800 RPM. If I am driving at 62 MPH in overdrive, the engine runs around 2100 RPM.
