Cadillac - Cts :: 2005 - Humming Noise With Rotation Of Tires?
May 28, 2013
I have a 2005 Cadillac CTS with 23k miles. It was my grandmothers car and is in excellent shape. It has had regular service and has had no mechanical problems. I have noticed recently that there is a humming noise that corresponds with the rotation of the tires. It seems to be coming from the left side and is almost unnoticeable at slow speeds but around 55-60 mph it is very noticeable. I had the wheels rotated with the last oil change and it seemed to stay the same, although the left rear tire is now on the left front. That tire loses pressure and I check it weekly. It's always a few pounds low. Could a bad tire be the cause of the noise? There is no vibration in the steering wheel and it doesn't get louder when I turn the wheel to one side of the other like a wheel bearing might.

I have 2012 Tiguan, I just did a tire rotation as part of my 10k oil change. Afterward I started to hear a weird noise from front tires, especially when I was driving slow on smooth roads, I can hear tires make a noise every spin. The noise speed up with the tire speed. I do the oil change and tire rotation every 3k for my previous car, never had any problem.

I recently had a lot of repair done to my 2003 cadillac: new bearings in both front wheels, new power steering line, rotors turned, cv axel replaced.I also bought new Michelin "Symmetry" tires as I am taking a long trip.
I had Toyo tires with some wear and had them rotated at another place other than my mechanic's. After that I noticed the humming noise in the front; it sounds like it is coming fron the driver's side and is most noticeable when I drive 35 or 40 mph. My mechanic said he checked everything carefully and couldn't figure out the problem.

I 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 own a 2006 Cadillac DTS. In May 2012, I purchased four Tiger Paw tires from local dealership. Dealer filled them with Nitrogen. The tires were constantly losing air (about 1/2 lb/day). I went back to the dealership many times and they refilled the tires, but I was never given an adequate explanation as to why the tires kept losing air. I then went to a local repair shop and was told tags were left on the tires. After removal of the tags, two of the four tires are better. Other two still lose approximately 1/2 lb/day. I went back to the car dealership again and now I am being told there is corrosion on the wheels and that is the reason for the air loss. (They are insisting the corrosion was not there 7 months ago when I purchased the tires). They want to remove the corrosion. Is there anything else to consider concerning the continual loss of air pressure?

My rear tires (Nokian) on my Subaru Legacy 1999 all wheel drive car are noisy and chopped after only 18,000 miles (tires were in front for 4,000 miles; at that point I had to get two new tires which were put in front). My mechanic does not recommend rotation so they haven't been rotated. No, I don't know why. So now they are chopped but have lots of tread.

On a front wheel Cadillac (2011) DTS, can I use only two snow tires--installed in the front?? These cars have stablization systems which are profound. I never had a problem with the rear end swinging out in my 2005 Sedan de ville. It looks to me as if the tire dealers just want to sell more tires, as they all suggest 4 snow tires. Aren't the rear tires just "along for the ride?" They have no torque.

My father and I have an '05 W12 Phaeton with 54k miles. It's developed a peculiar humming noise (very harmonic like a resonance) that is present any time the car is running. My father insists on taking the car to an independent European car repair facility instead of the dealership (much to my displeasure).
The shop first said it was transmission related and advised a fluid change. This did nothing to fix the issue and I'm not even confident that they have the ability to do such a thing correctly without dealer specific tools. Car never left the shop as that obviously did nothing.
Next, they claim there resonance was felt / heard through an oil line. They changed oil and filter thinking bad oil filter (crazy, I know). This also did nothing.
Now, they say that they attempted bypassing the oil cooler and this made the noise go away. The are advising replacement of the oil cooler assembly.

My Subaru started making a noise that the mechanic can't seem to identify - I hear it when the car is in gear and moving only - it's like a humming noise that increases in frequency as the car goes faster and winds down as I approach a stop - it totally stops if the car is not moving even though the engine is running. It doesn't sound like it's coming from the tires. It's a noise that I feel like I've heard coming from a K car or a Chrysler or something. It's not a rattling but rather changes regularly with acceleration/deceleration. I was thinking it might have something to do with the turbo. The car seems a little sluggish (more than lag in the turbo, maybe?)

2005 Jetta. The car makes a loud deep humming noise once I hit about 75mph, and goes away once I get to about 82 or so. I've taken it out of gear and matched the rpm I get at those speeds, and I don't hear the noise at all. It's only when I'm in gear. What this could be?

My friend has a 2007 Avalon with 150,000 miles. He ran over a chunk of rubber tire that was in the road and now has a load noise at 40 to 60 mph. He believes that a sound deading material is missing from under the car. He took it to the dealer and they could not determine the cause. He also took it to a local repair shop and they could not fix it. It appears that this material is used in the wheel wells also.

Wife complained about the noise coming from the front. She said it sounds like an engine noise. I took her car for a few days noticed the noise starting at about 25mph+ (near the driver side). Tried to put the engine in N and rev it, while driving, pretty such it is not the engine.
I do notice the noise is getting a bit louder today compared to last week...Did some google search and "it might" be the bearing. Just wonder what to do next. My wife doesn't want to drive it at this time....so she took my truck today

I Get a humming noise in all my speakers if I have my DTR lights on... Fog lamps don't matter, head lamps don't matter, just the day time running lights make it hum. If I have the lights set to "auto" and it's day time it hums, and if I switch it to day lights it keeps humming. But if I turn on the headlights (day light turns off) or if I turn the headlights off, the humming stops both ways. Fog lamps don't matter at all either. Why I'm getting humming with just the day time running lights??

I have a 2005 Hyundai Elantra that makes a RRrrrRRRrRRR noise when turning corners - only to the right. It's not a screeching or scraping noise... more of a loud whirring or humming. One note- back left tire was removed and repaired shortly before this began - could that relate?

My dealer says F-B and B-F only. Declined to put spare into rotation... 4 tires were rotated @ 5, 10, 15K. Don't see/feel any cupping yet, but would expect that next. Car was aligned around 5K, as was/is not 100% stable in direction, with slight wander. [no accidents/curb hits/pothole damage, etc.] Run 33-34 psi F&R, as rec by dealer [vs specs @ 32 psi]. Only 1-2 total people on board, mostly. At just under 18K on factory Michelins, getting some tire 'yammer' around 45 mph.Do you cross rotate?

Cross X tire rotation pattern on Avalon as opposed to just rotating from front to rear?

I am hearing a weird knocking with every rotation of the left front wheel and I know it is not the cv joints. I replaced the wheel bearings on the car a week ago . I think it maybe the brakes have got loose and hitting the rotor or the wheel might be loose but I'm not really sure and it knocks faster with acceleration.

I just purchased a 2000 Hyundai Accent. I was told it has a bad wheel bearing on the front driver's side. I am assuming that would be the clicking sound that associates with speed. I was told the cv joints or axles were replaced but have a leak. I couldn't see a filler hole or one to check from. I also don't see fluid under the car from parked. Also, there is a humming which sounds like knobby mud tires. The humming disappears during hard right turns.

Second time I've gotten my tires rotated. 20k miles. It sounds like I drive a lifted 4x4 for almost 2k miles now. Service rep says normal, cause of camber, GTI tires, etc. Goes in Wed for 20k service.

2005 Escalade-rear tail lights-water in tail assembly. Bulbs blew. Replaced bulbs. Will not come on when I turn on headlights. They do come on when you depress the brakes and when you use the hazards or signals.

I've noticed intermittently (but seems to getting more frequent) a rubbing noise from the front end at speeds below 10mph. It seems to only happen only after reversing. The noise is on a rotation. Almost sounds like putting a baseball card on the spokes of your bike. As you pick up speed the noise goes away & does not occur for the remainder of the trip. Sounds like it's coming from the left wheel well.
