Yeah giving no description of the sound or anything, you dont have to make the sounds noise, just compare it to something, give us some ideas of what could be causing it

the first sound was like ch,ch,ch,ch and it would get faster as the engine revved. the other one that happened on deceleration was similar but a constant sound (didn't ever get fater like first sound did)

ya but it was weird it wouldn't be silent while at idle yet amke that noise when i got back on it. then the sound kept disapearing and comin back and now they're just gone. and that shaking thing only happened once while the cel was on and now the cel is gone. im gona take it out for a nice drive later tonite and see if it starts makin noises again. will post bac klater with results and hopefully by then someone can give me an idea as to whats causing this.

Reading issues recently, it seems like they come, then fade away, then come back again etc... Whats up with that?

So the noise is rotational (is that even a word?) As in, a slow clicking at low speeds, which eventually gets faster to the point where you can't hear it anymore? Does that noise happen only when the car is moving? Sorry, it seems like you described a couple different situations, I'm getting confused about which noise is associated with each set of circumstances.

I had a similar noise that existed when the car was moving, it turned out to be some slightly warped rotors. I would notice the noise more when the car was going around bend on a highway, this would cause the rotors to make contact.

I dunno if leaving your car idling for 30 min is a great idea, they're not meant to warm up that way. I know my engine starts sounding a little shady after it's been idiling for 5 min or so, and that includes some shaking. Just saying that having your engine shaking after it's been sitting for half an hour could be normal.

oh ****! thats what that means...

Ok when i take really tight turns my car makes a noise as if two things are coming in contact... But wait, mabye its because the turns so tight that im in first gear and the RPM's are falling below 1k, so its getting read to stall.. yeah that sounds right! nm But it might be either one, let me check!

all those noise were always when i was going straight not turning...but now i got new noises

ok so the car isn't making any of those previous noises but now its making some new ones. when im going around a corner it sometimes starts to make this high pitched noise, kinda like the one when you need new brakes. i also need new brakes so its making that same noise when im braking but it also does it when im going around a corner slow but not applying the brake. it also makes another weird noise thats hard to describe. kinda sounds like metal against another metal but not high pitched. but only sometimes. it also sometimes makes that high pitched noise when im driving slow and straight but not that often.

Crap dude, from what what you just described your brakes are toast. Your best bet is to buy some new rotors and pads ASAP and install them. Front brakes are easy to do, you will need a t30 socket I believe for the caliper bolts.

So, go get yourself a haynes manaul, a T30 socket, a set of rotors, and a set of brake pads.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NOTE - THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME FOR BRAKE UPGRADES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would not drive the car until you have fixed this problem, because if your brakes fail you're f*ucked big time. If its an emegency or you have no other way to get parts, BE CAREFUL! you'll probably make it, but your brakes could fail to work properly, or at least stop you in the normal distances they would.
