How does sound travel faster in warm or cold air?
Sound travels outwards from the source in all directions. So there you have it sound does travel faster in warm air BUT it may appear to travel farther in cold air. This is how that works… …if the air close to the ground is colder than the air above it then sound waves travelling upwards will be bent downwards.
What makes a humming noise at certain speeds?
The humming starts off with a lower tone (almost like a small plane flying overhead) and gets louder at certain speeds (35-40mph; 55-65 mph). I have switched to neutral and even turned off the engine momentarily(after ensuring it is safe on a lightly traveled road) to be sure that it is not from the engine.
Why does my rear suspension make a lot of noise?
These problems typically manifest as both noise and vibration that start at low speed, and get worse with higher speed. Wheel bearings tend to be fairly noise when they go, sometimes squealing, but more often grumbling and growling.
How does the speed of sound pass through the system?
Sound passes through the system by compressing and expanding the springs, transmitting the acoustic energy to neighboring spheres. This helps transmit the energy in-turn to the neighboring sphere’s springs (bonds), and so on. The speed of sound through the model depends on the stiffness /rigidity of the springs, and the mass of the spheres.

Why does my car make a growling noise when I Turn on the engine?
A growling noise that increases with engine speed, independently of vehicle speed, could be a faulty water pump bearing. Squealing or hissing noises that change with engine speed are often the result of belt problems. Clunking or knocking during sharp turns or acceleration can be caused by faulty
Why do wide tires make the most noise?
Wide tires generate more noise than narrow tires because there is more rubber in contact with the road. More rubber provides more traction at the expense of more noise. Each tire type has a unique sound profile. Touring tires and low-rolling-resistance (LRR) tires are typically the quietest, while snow tires and off-road tires are the noisiest
Why is differential noise most common on acceleration?
People talk about differential noise on acceleration because it’s the most common area where noise occurs from on acceleration. Reason is that the load on the gears makes it harder for the teeth to slide across each. This also increases load on the carrier bearings making them prone to failure also (and they too get really noisy).
