Layely with my 2011 SE I've been getting a low pitch humming noise while traveling at low speeds, mainly going into a stop sign or light and searching for a parking spot. It happens with the AC off as well, not so much a vibration just a low pitch hum, also does it with foot off brake too as I just let it coast. Kind of annoying and want to make sure its good.
View 5 RepliesI bought my 2011 Sonata with 27k miles on it. After a while (few months) I noticed on occasion when turning I would get a screeching/squeal noise from the front tires. Only happened during certain turns (U turns I noticed where higher chance of happening).
I rotated the tires (Front to the rear, Rear to the front), and then there was a loud humming noise. I got it checked with the dealer and they confirmed tires were cupping (uneven treadwear right?) . So now its been 10,000 miles and the noise is the same. I just got an alignment done and there has been not much of a change.
So, other than getting new tires, should I get the tires balanced? Or just rotate them once more so that the rear return to the front again? Will I have to get another alignment done?
I've noticed that when I have the fan on...A/C on or off...there is a humming noise coming from the front of the car at approximately 900RPM - 1100RPM... At first I thought it was the A/C compressor but there's a sound even without the A/C on... the sound is like a motor running, low pitch sound...it is very noticeable when you are driving at very low speeds like when you drive around a parking lot looking for a spot... it is also noticeable when you are coasting to a red light or stop sign and the RPM's hit about 1000... not sure if it's the fan making the noise because it doesn't have enough lubrication or something of a bigger problem...

View 4 RepliesI'm the second owner of a 2011 Hyundai Sonata SE 2.4L with about 79,000 miles on it. I've had it for about 6 months and I go to get into my car this morning, and my car wouldn't start.
It starts to start but then cuts out and does a humming noise. I don't know if that counts as "turning over" because its a push start, but there were no clicking noises like it was trying to catch, just the hum. It also started making this same humming noise when I turn the car "on" without turning on the engine.
Everything works, my stereo, ac, headlights, taillights. I even tried jumping it and that did not work. We checked the fuses and they all look ok too.
I also put the key in the manual key hole in the center console while doing all this just to make sure.
Although it looks like the car is on, after I try to start it, the lights on the dash go out and my meters all turn on just as if the car is on, but the engine will not start. I can even shift the gears from parked to drive, neutral, etc and power steering works.
Finally after about an hour of messing with it, I gave up and tried to shut the car power off, and it wouldn't turn off! I went back n forth between the two on modes for a good 5-7 minutes before it FINALLY turned completely off and I was able to lock up and leave it...
*I have also had issues before where one or two dome lights randomly turn on when i unlock the car (with them set to OFF at all times). Maybe this is a minor electrical issue that turned into a bigger problem from ignoring it?
**I DO have an aftermarket stereo and alarm installed FYI.
I have a 2011 Sonata Limited 2.0t. I get a humming noise that starts out faint but gets very loud. This happens with the ac on and while coming to a stop or while stopped.
View 5 RepliesMy 2013 Sonata GLS has a noise that is in the rear of the vehicle going down the road. I rotated tires from back to front and noise seemed to move to front. I moved them back to rear so noise would be behind me. This told me the noise must be the tires or wheels. The tires are a long way from being worn out so I keep running them. I have the stock alloy wheels but previous owner put 225/40R18 tires on car. Tires size on door jam label says tire size on this GLS is supposed to be 225/45R18.
Could it be the wheels and not the tires? Another possibility could be factory lug nuts on back wheels. I read in my street rod magazine that lug taper length must be shorter than the taper length on wheel lug holes. Lugs cannot be so long that lugs hit the wheel backplate leaving the wheels slightly loose and not centered leaving a slight tire wobble when driving. The article says the lug taper much be shorter than the taper in the wheels in order to snug the nuts. I did not switch the lugs when rotating tires to front. If this is the problem rather than tires or wheels, Hyundai had a lug supplier problem.
New Sonata GL owner. Just picked it up last week and I love the car. Great drive, great features. Only thing is I am noticing that there's a humming noise from the engine whenever I accelerate and when the car decelerates. It's not really noticeable during the day when the streets are busy and I'm listening to the radio etc., but at night when I'm driving on quiet streets its quite audible and it almost sounds like Diesel engine.
I read a few threads on this and people have attributed it to the direct fuel injection - is this humming sound normal? Do all sonatas sound like this? Or should I go back to the dealership and get it checked out?
My daughter just bought a 2106 Hyundai Sonata Sport loaded. Within one week of driving it she noticed a lot of front end vibration at highway speeds. She took it back to the dealer. They test drove it and figured it needed an alignment. It didn't fix the problem. Hyundai corp was notified and the gave permission to put on 4 new tires in case there was damage from the original wheels sitting. Still has not corrected the problem. They have one more try before I demand lemon law and require a new car replacement.
View 5 RepliesI have a 2011 with 42k. While doing a front brake job, I noticed that the driver's side wheel hub while rotating it sounded noisy, it did not rotate as smoothly when compared to the right side. I have also noticed while driving that their is a slight humming noise from the front but always attributed it to the Bridgestone Turanazas. Maybe it is the tires and I just over reacting. Is this normal for the hub? Here is a video clip with sound. Is this wheel hub going bad?
View 3 RepliesI have a 2005 prius that's not starting with the red exclamation . I had took it to the dealership before and they told me it was the big battery since I had the battery under warranty I just had it replaced and the 12v battery myself . Now when I went to start the car everything started fine car was running like 10 mins the heat never got warm then it shut off red exclamation popped. I turned off an on then I heard a humming kinda sounding pitch coming from front of car that got higher and higher then shut the car off and red triangle pops up and that's what it's doing now.
View 1 RepliesWe've got a 2011 Santa Fe V6 that's putting out a low pitch cyclical whine at speeds between 5 and 15 mph. It could be making the sound at higher speeds but if it is the engine/wind noise drown it out.
If you're coasting or braking and drop below 5-7 mph, the noise cuts out completely and abruptly. Makes noise regardless of A/C running or off. Sounds like a motor turning on and off. Never makes noise while parked and revved, only while moving at low speeds (stop and go traffic, driving through parking lots, etc) - and is just loud enough to drive us crazy wondering what it is!
Dealer service center checked it out for 3 days - 4 different techs drove it, all heard the noise, but none knew where it was coming from. When you're driving, it seems to be coming from the passenger side of the engine.
On a side note, we first started hearing this noise after we got it back from dealer service, where they replaced the TPS and A/C compressor. I'm wondering if it could be from something they had to move to access the compressor?
When I'm driving at a certain speed (usually between 65-70 mph), my 06 Sonata GLS V6 develops a really soft (but really annoying) high-pitched whine that decreases when you take your foot off the gas. Not much at other speeds (sometimes it will kick in real quick at high rpm before the automatic trans shifts), but when the car hits 66-67 mph that little subtle whine kicks in. By 75 mph, it's gone (I drive 75+). Sounds just like a high-pitched dog whistle.
Not a wind noise....sometimes it sounds like it comes from below me, sometimes it sounds like it's coming from the dash. Dealer don't hear anything (of course), even when I'm in the car with the tech and can hear it (maybe I'm part dog.....who knows).
Here's my guess.......I think that it's the electric fuel pump. Sometimes if I'm outside the car, I'll hear a whine back in the fuel area that is almost the same pitch as the whine I hear at 70. Since the whine varies (or disappears) with engine rpm and application of the gas pedal, my thought is that I'm hearing the fuel pump hit a certain pitch, which causes the whine.
2006 Sonata?
I had the car checked for an odd noise that I've been noticing once the engine is warm. Almost like a humming or low pitch squealing. It's noticeable at idle and low speed from inside and outside the car. Very annoying considering the thing is a month old. Any way, I spent nearly 4 hours waiting and they came up with no solutions. Not a clue, a guess, nothing. The car is still driving normally and i needed it for tomorrow so I didn't keep it over as they suggested. The service manager said he hasn't seen anything like it, but also admitted he knew very little about the '10s. great.
View 10 RepliesI have a 4 cylinder 2012 Toyota Camry SE. It is 3 months old and has 2,300 miles.
My husband and I notice a high pitch humming noise that happens mainly on the freeway, when you get over 45 mph. We tried ruling out different things like, bluetooth, radio, air conditioner, wind noise etc. We realized that the noise happens with you push on the accelerator pedal. If you hold the pedal to maintain speed, it does not happen. Only when you push the accelerator pedal. The noise was more noticeable when I drove it up in the mountains and had to push on the accelerator pedal off and on to maneuver turns and up hills.
I figure that we can bring it up to our dealer in October at our 5,000 mile service.
My Pruis v makes a humming noise. Sometimes. Doesn't happen all the time. Don't know when it will happen. When it does happen, the car makes a humming noise. High pitch and low pitch-no longer than 2 minutes. Seems to be coming from the right side of the vehicle. It is embarassing when we have friends in the car, the noise comes on , and the friend asks, 'what's that noise' and i shrug my shoulders-i don't know.Took it to service. Manager said he has to hear it to determine what/where it is coming from. If it isn't making the noise, he can't tell me where it is coming from. Took it back today and now we have a loaner so he can drive it for a couple of days to try to hear the noise.
View 7 Replies2011 Hyundai sonata. My issues is that there seems to be a snapping/brushing noise when turn my wheel either left or right within under 5 MPH. Some people at work stated it could be the CV bolt? Not sure if that is correct, or something else. I am 117K miles, never have replaced anything suspension related.
View 11 RepliesCar wouldn't start, would just kind of do a high pitch whining. Bought new battery and still does it. It might crank right up or take up to 5-6 times. I'm a second owner and I believe it is the starter.
View 12 RepliesMy girlfriend has a 2008 with around 120k miles on it. It's been pretty flawless but yesterday the RPMs started surging while idle and made kind of a high pitch humming noise when accelerating.
Today on her way to work she said the radio was going in and out, the battery light lit up and then the rest of the dash lights came on, and the speedometer stopped working.
What could be the problem? Could it just be the battery?
I have a lot of wind noise in my 2 front windows when driving highway speeds, no water leaks. I cannot find where it is coming from either, I assume it is either air rushing over the mirrors or thin glass. Sometimes it is worse than others, not sure if cross winds etc. Is that common in 2009 Sonata. My old 2003 Malibu, much quieter but mirrors were slightly more rounded if I remember.
View 12 RepliesFrom day one my 2011 Sonata Limited left front suspension has been very noisy especially over road reflectors or other abrupt irregularities in the road surface at slow speeds. I've always felt I had a bad strut or strut mount but I believe it's the ball socket in the front sway bar end link. Has to replace these to remove a knocking sound and had it go away afterwards? I test drove a 2013 Limited and it was solid and noise free over the same surfaces so I know something isn't right. I also see no aftermarket kits for these. I find the rear ones but not the front.
