I'm not sure what it is so im asking for info so I know what it might be. I have a Idea that it might be but not sure. Its a wooping noise comming from the D.S.W. and as far as I can tell you cant hear it from the outside its not always there so I took the wheel off to investergate but as far as I can tell its not rubbing. When I speed up it gets louder and more high pitched when in Nertural still here is when the car crusies to a holt. So if anywbody has any Ideas Do tell

cheers

might pay to jack up the car, and spin each wheel by hand, (as fast as you can while still being able to monitor for sounds) you may find that you'll innitially hear nothing, but compare the sound of each wheel and listen for the 'slightest' differences. Remember that on the road the slightest noises can be 'amplified' tenfold!!

That's a starting point!

I've recently replaced my front wheel bearings, now the rear ones are getting irritating!! They'll be done shortly!! (about $250-$280 both fronts).

Funny sound, like the 'modulation' of a twin engined turboprop aircraft in flight!! Not at all metallic though, more a dull whoop, whoop, whoop sound that is proportional to the speed of the car. Thought it was tyres at first!!

Give it a shot, and respond on what you see (hear!!)

Mark. ;)

When my DS wheel bearing was done up too tight my bearing ground badly but only when turning one way. This might be a tell tale if this is what has happened.

Have you checked to see if it's your rotors? Might be an idea to jack it up, take of the wheel and see if you can spin the hub. I spose if this doesn't do the noise then maybe it's the hub cos the weight of the wheel isn't on it anymore. If it does do it it might be the brakes. Hope you have good hearing :P

Good luck.

      Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...

      My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.

      I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.

      I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
