got this noise coming from driver side tire>>>
sup, when I get going faster than 35 to 40 mph I get this space ship landing (quick and constant) dull or low pitched sounding whistles. I get no shaking while driving so it makes me think my tire needs to be rotated or tightened. I think it only comes from that side and It may have started after a hard braking incident I had earlier in the day. any ideas? I'll try to match the description of the sound better
Thanks

Yes its a low (bassy) whirling noise and it only happens from 35 to 45 mph. Higher or lower it does not occur. Thanks a lot for the support!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jack up the corner you think it is. Then spin the tire. If you hear a little rubbing kind of noise, its the wheel bearing. Otherwise, it could be something simple like you need to get your wheels rebalanced.

I don't think so. It may not even be a noise. I need to try sitting in the passenger seat and see if it does it on that side. Only problem is I just got the car and don't trust anyone driving it. It doesnt get louder with speed. It stops past 45 mph and starts at 40. I really wanna figure it out. THANKS for support

A tire shop will figure it in 30 seconds by just looking at the wheel!
