Car Noises and What They Mean.

Hello everyone!

 Your vehicle make funny noises and rattling along the highway? Find out what they mean those common car noises and fixed them before the summer driving season begins.
(BPT)-"what is Crackle? It's serious? " We can all get a bit paranoid about a new sound that is making our car. Those sounds certainly can be annoying, but what people don't understand is sometimes those sounds can be linked to something more serious.
About 7% of road accidents are caused by some kind of vehicle failure, degradation and pneumatic brake system failures top the list, according to motor vehicle Crash causation national survey by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. But tyre failure and brakes aren't the only types of vehicle problems that can cause accidents-engine, steering and suspension failures also cause accidents.
"Get your oil changed, tires rotated and brake pads regularly checked not only helps to keep your car running smoothly, but also helps to keep your family safe," says Matt Myers, senior vice president of claims with Erie Insurance. "It is also important to check auto transmission fluid and get 50,000 miles and controls 100,000 miles. It might seem a lot, but regular preventive maintenance is the best way to keep those strange noises-car accidents-and to a minimum ".
Here are six common car noises people heard and what it could mean:
Humming or moans
When you hear hum while driving at higher speeds, is a sign that there's probably some wear the tires, which can lead to serious problems. Could be localized on the insides of your gums, which is difficult to diagnose, but not having it checked is a risk, because the steel belts in the tire might be is breaking.
Growling
This noise may change or even go away when you spin the wheel, but it is usually caused by a bad front wheel bearing. The change in the noise could be a result of the movement of the weight of the car, as you turn.
Whining and creaky
You could hear these noises or turning back. Could be the result of a ball joint or tie rod gathering.
Squeaking
This can be an acute disorder, constant that lets you know that it's time to get your brake pads inspected or replaced.
Corrigendum
This means sound touch when they shouldn't be two pieces of metal. This sound could be a multitude of things: brakes, powertrain, suspension or something else. In any case, a means of grinding sound you need to get your car checked as soon as possible.
Hiss
A swishing noise may occur after turning off the ignition and can sometimes be followed by smoke from under the hood.
The next time that you hear strange noises coming from your car, don't just turn up the radio to drown-get them checked by a mechanic. Ignoring those noises today could lead to a dangerous and costly situation tomorrow.
