Hey guys, I have a strange problem and thought I'd get some comments. I am going to try and get it to a shop this weekend to have it looked at, but thought maybe I'd have a better idea of what I'm talking about if I describe the problem.
When I'm drive, from about 25mph-75mph there is a strange noise coming from the rear of my car. I thought, maybe the tires causing strange road noise, but I'll describe what I'm hearing.
It's like a wind tunnel, or as if I had my sunroof cracked and you know how it is when you accelerate the wind noise gets a little louder. Well take it down a few notches, make it seem like there is a faint "whine" or wind kind of noise, and then think of it as coming from the back windshield. I tried rolling down my windows and listening, but I couldn't hear anything, just when I'm inside the car.
This has been like this for about a week. Just yesterday I got worried because the noise got a little bit of a tone now. Kind of as if I had a broken exhaust, but not really. *sigh*. The sound was still very faint, but had more of a deeper tone, so now I was thinking, OK, maybe it's from the exhaust. But I've heard a broken exhaust before, and I'd KNOW it if something was wrong with it. This just seems like strange road noise.
Any thoughts or idea, or something I can tell a mechanic to look at would be nice. I think I will have about an extra $200 in the next couple weeks. I will drop some cash now to have it looked at, and if anything needs fixed, I hope it won't cost more than that.
What do you guys think?
TIA!!!
