Why is there a screeching noise when I accelerate?
If you hear a chirping or squealing noise when you accelerate, it usually means a belt is loose and slipping or the drive pulley for an accessory has become misaligned. Recommendation: Get it checked.
Why is my car engine so loud when I accelerate?
If your engine sounds loud when accelerating, the problem is most likely related to the belt, the bearings, low oil level, or probably a problem for a different component. In general, any weird noises or smells coming from your vehicle might indicate an issue that you should not ignore.
Is it normal to make noise when accelerating?
There are noises that are normal on acceleration. The best way to know if the noise is normal is simply if you have heard the noise before. You have probably driven, or at least ridden in cars for years.
Why does my car make a squealing sound when I accelerate?
If the belt is worn (dry, cracked,glazed) it can slip on acceleration and make a squealing sound. Also, if any of the pulleys on the alternator, p/s pump,etc, are worn or loose, they can cause the belt to squeal. Have a certified technician, like one from YourMechanic, come inspect the vehicle to isolate the exact cause of the squealing sound.
Why does my car make a clicking noise when I accelerate?
When the valves wear they will make a clicking noise. This is most noticeable when accelerating because the valves are moving much faster. The bearings are what allow the cam and crankshaft to spin for thousands of miles and millions of revolutions. If any of the bearings fail they will cause a ticking or screeching noise.
Why does my car make a sloshing noise when I start it?
If you hear a liquid sloshing sound coming from under the hood when starting the car or accelerating, it could indicate that air has gotten into the cooling system. It’s likely from a leak, or perhaps from the engine’s head gasket. It’s important to get this checked.
