Why does my right front tire make a flapping noise?
If you still cannot find any defect in the tire, rotate the right front tire and wheel to the right rear and see if the noise moves with it. Get back to us if you have eliminated the tire as the source of the noise.
What should I do if I hear a flapping noise in my front wheel?
If you do not hear any suspicious noises, take the car to a shop that does “road force balancing”. A machine that does this rotates the wheel while aimulating road forces by pressing a spinning drum against the tire. That can detect internal tire defects that a regular balancer cannot.
Why do I hear a humming sound in my tire?
Humming tire suspects include faulty wheel bearings and uneven wear on the tires. You can solve this mystery by: Having your vehicle’s wheel bearings inspected and serviced by a trained technician Getting your tires rotated according to manufacturer’s recommendations
What’s the flapping noise on the right side of my car?
Heard a banging/flappain noise from the right side car but got out and saw nothing trapped or in contact with the wheel and when started the vehicle it was gone. I have just sent the vehicle in to the mechanic to look at wheel arch liners and possibly clip them.

Why are my tires knocking on the floor?
If this is 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, Mitsubishi calls it All Wheel Control, then it could be the driveshaft has come loose, is damaged or has something caught on it. If this is front wheel drive only, then it could be that an exhaust pipe is touching the floorboard.
What causes a sharp knocking noise in the engine?
Cam gear noise will usually be evident at a warm idle in neutral and sounds much like a loose timing chain noise. Piston pin, piston, and connecting rod noise are hard to separate. A loose piston pin, for example, causes a sharp double knock usually heard when the engine is idling, or during sudden acceleration then deceleration of the engine.
What makes the flapping noise on the driver side of a Prius?
The higher speed, the faster/louder knock @ driver front wheel. Prius s only @ 12K miles. We have had quite salty winter in NYC! Does my wheel bearing need to be looked at?
What makes the flapping noise under the driver’s side?
The end furthest forward is NOT secured very well. You can “flick” the front edge with your fingers and you will recreate the noise. I just stuck some closed cell foam in, above the plastic shield to stop it from vibrating, when air flows in that area. Closed cell foam/weatherstrip does not absorb water.
