WHAT IS THAT NOISE UNDER THE HOOD?

Automobile sounds are annoying, and can be one of the clues that your automobile has issues. You need to thoroughly focus to be able to tell where the sound is originating from. The noise will be hard to hear due to the fact that it travels along the body of the vehicle.

If you have a noise originating from under the hood when the vehicle is stopped and the engine is running, then it is usually an engine or exhaust problem. If the noise is coming when the car remains while driving, it normally signals a transmission, axle, tires, or suspension problem.

If you hear a screeching noise originating from beneath your hood, you probably have a loose or glazed belt. Spray the belts with aerosol belt dressing and see if the sound stops. If it does then either tighten your belt or change it if it is glazed.

Wheel bearings that are worn out can also be the reason for a screech. Remove the accessory’s belt and test to see if the sound disappears. If it does, adjust and refit the belt.

Clunking Sounds

If your automobile is making a clunking sound when decelerating or speeding up, this typically indicates worn universal joints in the drive shaft. If the problem is not the joints, then you will
