What’s the best way to get rid of cabin noise?
If it’s important to you to bring down the noise as much as possible and you are ok with foregoing the extra space of a Station Wagon, then go for a test drive and see whether the Sedan is quieter. SUVs, Trucks and other larger vehicles will – with their larger and higher surfaces – generate more wind noise.
The common noise is a puffing noise, and you can smell the exhaust fumes. If this happens, take the vehicle to the muffler shop and have them inspect for exhaust leaks.
Why does my car make a humming noise when I turn the car off?
This is especially true if the noise comes right in front of your car’s engine. If you hear crunching or clicking noises when turning at high speeds, the most likely problem is a bad coupling at the CV joint. If it is a humming sound, the wheel bearings could be at fault.
What kind of sound does a worn wheel make?
Worn wheel bearings can create a humming/howling sound when they start to fail, that gets more intense at higher speeds. A tell-tale sign to distinguish bearing noise from tire noise is to turn the wheel at speed, in kind of a “gentle swerving” motion.

The most common noise is growling noise, which is often due to low power steering fluid. This noise is caused because the power steering system may have developed a leak.

I have a 2007 Honda CRV with about 85k miles. Always had a lot of road noise, but recently my husband and dad road with me and were very concerned about a “womp, womp” noise in the tires. It matches the revolution of the tires, so when I get going fast I don’t hear it.

Why are my front tires making Womp womp noise?
Have the alignment checked at a good independent shop. Have them also check for any worn suspension parts. Cupping is usually caused by worn a ball joint, wheel bearing, strut, springs, bushings, etc. ok, so I will have alignment done. Is it recommended to do both front and rear alignment even though I only notice problems with the front?
