Hi all -
I had my van in the shop last week and now it’s making a new noise. I wonder if you guys might be able to diagnose it.
The noise kicked in after a few hours of highway driving. It generally starts when I pass about 60 mph. Acceleration and deceleration don’t seem to matter, but speed does.
Sometimes it stops on its own, but just for a few seconds. Lightly pressing the brakes stops it for a second if we’re above 60; below that, if we’ve slowed down and it hasn’t stopped on its own, pressing the brakes generally stops it for good until we get faster again. Hitting a bump can stop it, too, but also sometimes starts it... again, depending on how fast we’re going.
It’s a whining or whistling kind of noise, but does sound a little like metal grinding when I stop it by tapping the brakes. When I hit the brakes, the sound jumps up in pitch before it stops. I’m going to try to attach a recording.
Any guesses?
Thanks,
Evan Wilcox
