Why is my drive train making a squeaking noise?
If during a ride you hear a creak or squeak once per revolution, it is probably located in the crankset and pedal area. If the noise is once every 2 – 3 revolutions, it may be in the chain. There can be several causes of creaking. You may need to proceed through the drive train step by step, part by part to eliminate potential problems.
Why do I hear a low pitched hum while driving?
While driving, you hear a low-pitched hum. As you accelerate, the noise gets louder—maybe it sounds like an airplane taking off—but after a certain speed the volume is consistent. When you make a turn, the noise gets louder; but if you turn the other way, it disappears. What it could mean: This is most likely a wheel bearing noise.
Why does my car make noise when I drive?
Any of the components in the drivetrain can wear and start to make noise. The drivetrain is essentially what makes your car go, and all of these parts move when your car is moving. With wear, the parts make contact in a way for which they’re not designed. This in turn makes audible noises.
What should I do if my drivetrain is making noise?
Use a mild grade of thread locking compound or grease on the bolts, and tighten them fully. Even regular “street shoes” on a platform pedal can cause noise. A shoe lace can tap against a crank arm, and the rubber can move and squeak under the sole. Tighten pedals into crankarms.
Why does my front wheel drive car sound like a train?
Clickety-Clack If your front-wheel-drive vehicle sounds like an Amtrak train while moving at low speed with the wheels turned it could be an indication that the constant velocity or CV joints are failing. They’re located on the ends of the drive axles. And these are some of the hardest working parts in a car.

What causes a loud clunking noise in a car?
• Regular “clunking” or loud “clicking” every few feet may indicate a broken ring or pinion gear tooth. • “Banging, clicking or clunking” while cornering can be caused by broken cornering gears commonly called “spider gears”, lack of sufficient positraction lubrication, or worn positraction clutches.
