What if your car does not start it cranks but does not turn over and it makes a grinding noise?
Usually that just means the battery is dead. It's trying to crank the starter but doesn't have enough power. Try jumping it from another car and see if that starts it. When a grinding noise is detected first locate the area of the car it is being generated from. Most grinding noises will be being generated while driving, if you are having a hard time detecting the location of the grinding sound, have a helper ride along in the rear seat to give a new perspective on the origin of the grinding noise.

1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager it was making a rubbing sound and was having issues turning you found that the sway bar was broken in the front and replaced it but it is still rubbing Any ideas?
There are many potential causes for this sound, but if you are still having issues turning, you should have the front end inspected and diagnosed immediately. Many repair shops will perform such an inspection for free, just be aware that some problems may require repair before they can allow the vehicle back on the road. That doesn't mean they can hold you hostage, but if repairs are required for safety reasons, you'll either have to have them perform the repair or you will have to tow the vehicle to another mechanic of your choosing. As far as what could cause the rubbing noise, it could be worn or damaged brake parts, worn or damaged steering linkages, worn out ball joints, failed or failing struts, bad CV joints, the list goes on.
When your car is started it sounds like metal is grinding in the engine closer to the driver side of the engine and it will not drive What is that The car is a 98 Ford Escort manual?
if you mean when you put the key in the ignition to start it you hear a grinding sound then either your flywheel has a missing tooth (unlikely) or the starter is the one that needs replacement(most common) if you mean that when the car is started you hear a grinding sound and the car when gears are shifted it wont move then since it is a manual transmission i would look at the clutch housing.(throw out bearing ,spring compressor ect.) perhaps someone else may have other sugestions or ideas.
How do whispering galleries work?
A whispering gallery is usually constructed in the form of an ellipsoid, with an accessible point at each focus. When a visitor stands at one focus and whispers, the line of sound emanating from this focus reflects directly to the dish/focus at the other end of the room, and to the other person. Circular whispering galleries may provide "communication" from any part on the circumference to the diametrically-opposite point on the circumference.
