if the car is rear wheel drive, sounds like a u-joint. If it is front wheel drive, sounds like a cv joint. It could also be your engine mounts wearing out. If the rubber insulation has worn out then the engine will shift slightly against the mount and make a clunking noise. This happened on my 96 Nissan Quest minivan.
A bad universal joint is one possibility.
If the 1999 Suburban noise is a sort of loud banging noise, the problem could be that the engine have jumped time. Jumping time would cause the noise and jerking in the engine.
Wheel hubs or bearings or could be the CV shafts.
I see it as though wookies make more then one noise but if you want the common wookie call then my answer would be AUGUUUGUUUGUUUGRRRGHHHHH a wooikie roar would be AULRGHHHGR a wookie wimper would be AUGRFF.
it would make a fart noise and die ha ha
Gun shots from a drive-by ought to do the trick. But the magazine capacity would have to be somewhat small, or the cyclic rate quite high.
It depends on when you hear the noise, but it likely a joint in the front wheel drive unit.

It would help to specify the type of noise and type of vehicle in question.
If it's a type of clunking noise, check your gearbox. If it's some kind of rattling, check your hubcaps.
Loose belt - will sound like a screeching noise.
Could be your timing belt.
If you operate a front wheel drive vehicle, the clunking noise you hear may be a CV joint bearing going bad.
If it's a clunk sound, check universal joint bearings and drive shaft bolts. Otherwise please describe noise.
The problem ended up being defective spark plug wires. sounds like rod bearings. It couldn't be the rod bearings, because the engine would run for a few miles and then quit. Rod bearings tend to go quickly.
could be a wheel bearing...or just that its a french car
If the chirping noise speeds up as the truck speeds up, check the u-joints in the drive line.
