Why your car is making noise while idling or while you’re driving is certainly a good question. I’ve certainly had a car with a whining noise under the hood. Sometimes it’s an easy fix, and sometimes it can be a puzzle. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whining noise while accelerating can be caused by several things, including low levels of steering fluid, the steering pump, a leak in the pump, the alternator, wheel bearings, loose or worn belts, the transmission, brakes, and the exhaust. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With regular use of your car over time, wear and tear on various components will occur, affecting the engine’s proper functionin<\/strong>g.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At times this could all be because of a small part<\/strong> that needs to be replaced. Other times your engine can have a major issue<\/strong> that may cost thousands. If you notice strange sounds from your car, it’s important to do a simple auditory and visual inspection to identify problems.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If theirs a major problem with your car, with load sounds, irregular functioning, burning smells, or smoke, pull over as soon as possible to avoid engine failure and the possible crashing of your car. Get help, and don’t drive your car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your car is operating normally, but you notice a repetitive or consistent irregular sound, find a safe spot away from traffic to do an inspection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good place to inspect is at your house, in the driveway, to ensure safety. Having an assistant can be helpful. Using gloves (Amazon Link<\/a>) and wearing an old shirt and pants can help because inspecting a car can get dirty.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
