I got into a mild accident with a huge rock about a week ago. Since then i have repared all that was broken. After the accident, i am hearing a loud sound when the car goes over 20mph. It isnt coming from the engine. Actualluy sounds like it is coming from the front left wheel(could be mistaken, however definetly not coming from the engine). Have since had wheels allighned and it still makes the noise. Any one have any ideas???

 

What's it sound like? Does it increase with speed? Does it change when you make a hard turn?

 

It is pretty constant and doesnt change with speed......Kinda sounds like really hard road noise....kinda sounds like a helicopter type sound

 

Try going for a quick drive and make a sharp left turn. Like you're swerving to avoid an accident kind of turn. Make sure you can hear the noise before you turn and don't hit the brakes.

If the sound goes away, it's your wheel bearing. If not, we're going to need more details.

 

just took it for a ride, noise is still there when i take the fast sharp turn..........what other details do you need?

 

have you taken a look underneath and under the hood? Is there anything loose? Take a close look around the brakes also. Is it a high pitch sound or more of a hum?

 

I checked under the hood and everthing looked fine. Also took a quick glance in the wheel well and all bushings/brakes looked good.... the sound is more of a deep humming.......also i kinda sounds like a helicopter type sound.......
