Sierra :: 2006 GMC Z71 - Noise Starts At About 50-55 And Keeps Getting Louder With Speed


Sep 18, 2014

I have a 2006 GMC Sierra z71 has 159,000 miles on it. I've already changed the front hub bearings and the tires are brand new. Brakes are in good shape as well. I also had someone check the front differential bearings too. Said the front diff was good. The noise starts at about 50-55 and keeps getting louder with speed. The noise is similar to a hub bearing noise. When you let off the throttle the noise is more pronounced then when on the throttle. I'm thinking it's te cv axles. The cv boots don't have any tears in them and I have no clicking noise. But I've also heard that cv axles can make this noise. Also the noise seems to change when I hit bumps. that's also why I'm thinking cv axles. Because cv axles are the only thing that move with the suspension and also rotate.

Accent MC (2006-11) :: Humming Noise That Gets Louder As Speed Increases

Starting at about 30mph there's a humming noise that gets louder as speed increases. It doesn't seem to change if I am steering right or left and i have no steering wheel shake or any sort of noticeable bumping at 60mph. Could this just be my tires making noise, they are quite worn by now.

Sierra :: 2006 GMC High Speed Vibration?

2006 GMC Sierra 1500 crew cab 4x4. Bought it with a 3 inch body lift. 2 years ago I put on a 3 inch suspension lift (blocks in the rear and torsion keys in front). Tires were getting worn out and truck had a hop to it, so brand new tires (33's) 4,000 miles ago.

Since putting on new tires I have replaced:

-both front rotors (they were warped)
-front brake pads
-pitman arm
-idler arm

Still have the hop. Cant feel it in the steering wheel and very little in the seat. Mostly in the floor boards. Hop starts at 50 mph and stops at 70 mph.

Front end is stiff since putting on new torsion keys in front.

Have had new tires rotated once and balanced twice with no change.

I know my rear shocks are shot and my front shocks are almost done.

Pontiac :: 2004 - Humming Noise At About 20 MPH And Gets Louder With Speed

I have an 04 Pontiac (wifes car) as you start driving you hear a humming noise that starts at about 20mph and gets louder with speed at high speeds it just stay's steady, changes when changing lanes and gets quieter as you slow down, I know its not the engine or transmission as I can rev the engine and only when the car speeds up the sound changes (louder). I've been seeing similar post and its either CV joint or bad bearings but need more of a defined answer from a mechanic who recognizes this situation. Also the sound does make a little vibration felt through the steering wheel and gas pedal but again changes when steering is turned back and forth which I think means it's somewhere in the drive shaft and axle area or steering system.

Camry :: Road Noise Noticeable Starting At 30 Mph And Gets Louder With Speed

2008 SE V6 Convertible : I have noticed that the road noise has gotten significantly worse. I don't think it's the tires as they have been well inflated and still have about 80% tread left. The noise gets very noticeable starting at 30 mph and gets louder with speed, (by the time I reach 70MPH / 2.5K RPM its already VERY LOUD) and you can even feel the "grinding" vibration in the accelerator pedal and steering wheel. It seems to from the front. A kind of cycling hum (not constant; but broken like the tip of a helicopter blades). The noise does not change in turns; and it's not a loud clunking noise.

GMC - Sonoma :: 2002 - Noise That Gets Louder When Increase Speed While Driving

I have a 2002 GMC Sonoma, 4wd, with about 100,000 miles on it. It recently started making a new noise. When you start it up and drive it, it makes a noise that gets louder as you increase speed. At about 20-25mph, it sounds like an airplane. The noise decreases as you slow down. If you shift into neutral and rev the engine, the noise is not affected, eliminating anything in the engine. When you slow down to stop, you feel a slight sensation in the brake pedal, like the transmission downshifting (this is when you are nearly stopped), and the noise goes away. You can then drive as normal with no noise at all until after the truck is restarted and driven after being shut off and parked. Then you repeat the cycle. The truck is in 2wd when this happens.

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: Clicking Noise That Gets Faster / Louder With Fan Speed On Passenger Side

Having an issue with the 09 Platinum 5.4. Recently the air ducts to the passenger side have been routed straight to hell. The blow hot regardless of the setting, the driver side is fine. I can hear a clicking noise that gets faster/louder with the fan speed on the passenger side. I am thinking blend door motor? Possible location of this part and some replacement instructions? Wife and kids aren't digging this hot heat all the time, its a very uncomfortable ride in such a great truck!

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: RX330 Rear Wheel Bearing Type Noise Gets Louder With Increasing Speed

I have a rear wheel bearing type of noise that appears to come from the rear. My vehicle is front wheel drive and has 135K miles.

I checked the rear wheel bearing/hub assys on both sides and they had no play but I changed them anyway. Noise did not change at all. Rear tires have normal wear, no cupping or anything. Noise gets louder with increasing speed up to a point and then remains a constant level.

My next thought is to check the front wheel bearings/cv joints.

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Slight Ticking Noise From Top Of Engine And It Is Slowly Getting Louder

Have a 2006 Sonata GLS with a 2.4 mileage has rolled over 207k .... I started hearing a slight ticking noise from the top of my engine and it has slowly gotten louder, now it can be heard inside the vehicle and more so when revving the engine...it also has 2 stored codes P0011 and P0456, I'm not too concerned with the evap code at the moment, I have decided to replace the oil control valve and clean or replace the lash adjusters...here is my problem, I have mechanic experience but only on Honda, all the youtube videos I have found for valve lash adjustment or replacement are for Mitsubishi and chevy engines, so I am not sure what the adjusters actually look like on this engine and if I can even do them without removing the timing chain.

GMC - Sierra :: Stalls While Driving But Usually Starts Right Back Up?

As the title says, the 2001GMC Sierra 2500 truck has been acting up lately. This usually happens when the truck is in motion, doing about 40 mph or so. It will quit, i have to pull over to the side of the road. And it usually starts right back up. This has been going on ever since I had the fuel pump replaced about 3 months ago or so. It was doing it once every two weeks, then once a week, then once every other day. Then it stranded me at the store before xmas. Right off I thought it is the fuel pump being intermittent, and just getting worse. I am not so sure though.

My mechanic will warranty it, but would rather not have to if its not the problem. He would rather have the truck die and stay dead, and test out things from there. There in lies the problem. The pump works, I can hear it power up, and if the truck stalls, it starts right back up. One more thing. If it does not start immediately, and I don't drain the battery, it will start in an hour or less. It will not just stop working for an extended period of time. There is no check engine light on btw. No codes come up while its on the computer. I don't drive it except in the driveway to plow, for fear of having to have it towed. It works though as i have a really long driveway.

Accent LC (2000-05) :: Rough Idle - Engine Get Louder And Car Starts To Vibrate Slightly

Recently bought a 2001 Accent that has been experiencing a 'rough idle' for the last few weeks. Basically, after I've driven the car for a few minutes (from a cold engine position) and then stop at a stop light or stop sign, I can hear the engine get louder and the car starts to vibrate slightly, after I've driven for about 15 minutes at higher speeds and then stop again I can actually see the steering wheel shaking when I take my hands off of it. If i put the car in park when I am stopped and the engine is on, the idle calms down quite a bit. The weird part is that when I first start driving the car in the morning, the rough idle problem doesn't happen until about 5 minutes of steady driving - so when the engine is colder I don't experience the problem, The problem is not that serious, and Ive already brought it into a dealer who cleaned out fuel injection, gave me a major tune up and replaced all the spark plugs, but the problem still persists. I am gonna bring it back to them but they seem a bit lost to be honest. Other than this the car is driving normally when I am not idling.

Camry :: Gen 5 Steady Sound That Gets Louder As Speed Increases

This is a 2002 Toyota Camry 4cyl with 249157 miles. I drove it 140 miles to work, noticed no issues, parked it, and got back in after 10 hours. On the way back I noticed a noise that got louder the faster I went. It is independent of the engine revolutions (I put the car in neutral and "coasted"). The noise is completely dependent on the speed of my forward movement.

So I put the car up and in gear and around 25/30 mph, the sound shows up and gets worse as the speed increases. It does not get worse in turns. And it is very consistent- not clunking or clicking, just a steady sounds almost like strong wind over an object. I replaced the wheel bearings in both front wheel assemblies about a year and a half ago.

Sierra :: 1991 GMC 5.7 Surging While Driving At Constant Speed

This truck has 180km on it and runs fine except as of lately i have developed a surge while at constant speed. When i step on the gas it does not seem to happen.....it only happens when I reach a constant speed. The odd time it will surge at idle and the engine will rev up and down on its own also. When at highway speed it seems to not do this. The truck never dies completely....just surges slightly.

GMC - Sierra :: 1998 - Intermittent High Speed Miss

My 1998 GMC Sierra K1500 has developed an intermittent high speed miss. I doesn't miss while idling but with no apparent regularity it will jerk as though the engine lost power for just a moment. I just replaced the distributor cap and rotor and the plugs and plug wires appear to be fairly new (I bought the truck last May). The truck has about 213,000 miles on it.

Sierra :: Low Speed ABS Pulsing / Grease Between Lobes On Reluctor Ring In Hub

My wife has a Sierra 1500 2WD 6cyl that is doing the low speed ABS pulsing. I read this forum and performed the sensor cleaning as described in the TSB from GM. The problem did not go away, so I pulled the ABS fuse for now. When I was cleaning the sensors - which were covered with crap - I noticed a lot of grease between the lobes on the reluctor ring in the hub. I cleaned it as best I could, but I could not get all of it. My question is - should there be any grease visible on that ring at all? If not, then do I need to replace the hubs? If some grease is ok, then I guess I will do a voltage check on each sensor, but I don't want to change the sensors if they are just going to get dirty again. The problem is on both sides.

Prius (2004-09) :: Engine Sounding Louder Than Normal If Accelerating At Quick Speed

I took my car to the car wash and they seemed to take longer to vacuum/wash it and while driving it away, I noticed something was off. It seems like the engine is louder than normal. Before when starting the car, it would take 30 seconds to a minute before the battery/engine would come on. Then while accelerating to about 25-35 mph, then the engine would come into gear. When going on the freeway, if accelerating at a quick speed it would sound really loud. Now, it seems like instead of silent, quiet, a little louder, louder and loudest - it's moved to the next level. When starting the car, the engine starts right away and when driving away (at less than 25 mph), the engine sound like I am on the freeway and when I'm on the freeway it sound like I'm trying to gun the engine. I don't know what it could be.

Sierra GMC :: 1998 - Engine Misses At Idle And During Driving Speed Range

I recently had intake manifold gaskets replaced in my 98 gmc sierra 4x4 pickup 5.7 . The day I drove it home from the shop it ran fine, even day after but the next day I noticed it seem to idle a little rough and even at normal driving, sometimes seems worse than others. No service engine light has yet to come on. Could there be vacuum leak, trash in intake or bad wires and plugs. Plugs, wires, rotor button and distributor cap are only year and half old.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Jet Sound When Pressed The Pedal And Got Louder As Speed Increased

I have a 2004 Ford f-250 super duty 6.0 turbo diesel. I noticed yesterday that it was making a jet sound when i pressed the pedal and got louder as i increased the speed. When you let go of the pedal it goes away. I have asked around and some say it could be the turbo...the diesel mechanic THINKS it could be the fan clutch. The truck doesn't overheat and if i punch it i don't think i sense any loss of performance. All I know is that it makes this sound like a plane taking off.
