What is that low hum I hear?
Up to 4% of people around the world are thought to hear the strange, low-pitched noise. Its actual source is unknown, though many hearers are in urban areas, suggesting it could be some form of noise pollution. Anecdotes came thick and fast as “hum hearers” shared their experiences and tried to describe it.
Why is a humming noise coming from my front end?
Took it to a very reputable independent Toyota shop, took the tech for a ride and he agreed about the issue being the wheel bearing. So, I ended up leaving it with the independent shop to get the wheel bearing replaced. I get a phone call this morning, they replaced the wheel bearing but the noise is still there.
When does the humming noise in my car go away?
It is a constant noise that gets louder at higher speeds and is nonexistent at very slow speeds (i.e., parking lots). When I swerve to the left, the noise goes away. When I swerve to the right, nothing happens. At speeds from 30-45mph it is louder when I am coasting.
Why does my T4R make a humming noise?
Luckily, I found a wrecked T4R at the local yard with 60,000 miles and the diff was in great shape. Getting the new diff put on in the morning. A few weeks ago this weird humming noise started up. It is a constant noise that gets louder at higher speeds and is nonexistent at very slow speeds (i.e., parking lots).
What does it mean when your differential is making a noise?
While there is no help for our singing, we can help you diagnose the sounds coming from a differential gone bad. A clunk, whine, or howl can signal a worn-out pinion gear, bad bearings, or a faulty gear installation. Sometimes, the noise is not differential-related, but is caused by other driveline or axle components.

Why does my car make a thumping noise while driving?
If its not the tires while driving pay attention to witch side makes more noise when there is more weight on it. When on a left hand curve in the road there will be more weight on the right side and if it is the right wheel bearing the noise will become louder and vice-versa for the other side.
