What Car Sounds Mean"},"content":{"rendered":"\r\n<p>Your vehicle is one of your most expensive possessions. When it starts to make sounds, you can assume it\u2019s going to be an expensive repair. That\u2019s stressful, especially if you don\u2019t know why it\u2019s acting up in the first place.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You might not want to deal with it, but ignoring what\u2019s going on under the hood can permanently damage your ride in the long term. It\u2019s better to know what car sounds mean so a repair doesn\u2019t turn into needing a new car. Besides, not every car sound warrants panic, just routine maintenance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">What it means if your vehicle is squealing<\/span><\/strong><br \/>The first question to ask yourself when your car starts to squeal is: where is the noise coming from? Is it the tires when you turn? Does it happen when you press down on your brakes? Answering these types of questions can help you determine what your car is trying to tell you (before your mechanic does). Although, it\u2019s always best to have a professional examine your vehicle if it\u2019s making sounds it shouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">If it\u2019s your brakes squealing:<\/span><\/strong><br \/><strong>Squealing brakes could mean that you need new brake pads<\/strong>. Actually, brake pads will squeal when you need to replace them soon. That\u2019s something you\u2019ll need to do routinely anyway, so it shouldn\u2019t be too much cause for concern.\u00a0 Once the brake pads get too worn down, a feeler will make contact with the rotor. It causes that sound on purpose.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"is-style-cnvs-paragraph-callout\">Change your brake pads out if they start to squeal, or every one to two years as a rule of thumb<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>According to car dealership Harr Toyota, you need to replace your brake pads every 10,000-20,000 miles. However, Autozone writes on their website that you might only need to change out your brake pads after 65,000 miles (one to two years in general). Regardless, if your car\u2019s brake pads need to be changed out, they will emit a high-pitched squeal to make it known. Otherwise, a dashboard light may pop on to warn you. Sometimes your wheels just need a good cleaning rather than a repair, so try that out first.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">If it\u2019s your engine squealing:<\/span><\/strong><br \/>You\u2019ve ruled out that the squealing doesn\u2019t come from the brakes. Maybe your vehicle is constantly squealing as you drive. If so, the culprit might be an issue with your engine, or more specifically, the single engine belt. Other names for this part include serpentine belt or drive belt. It plays a role in keeping important parts of your vehicle running smoothly, like the alternator.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The sound happens when the tension of the belt isn\u2019t tight enough and it slips off the pulleys. It may not cause your car to stop running immediately (although it may break your eardrums); however, it could cause serious damage in the case the drive belt completely breaks.\u00a0<br \/><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/rotten-egg-smell-from-car-vents-which-car-smells-lead-to-problems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SEE ALSO: WHICH CAR SMELLS LEAD TO PROBLEMS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"is-style-cnvs-paragraph-callout\">Hissing from a vehicle usually means a leak near the engine, a vacuum hose leak, or a leaky exhaust pipe<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">What&#8217;s happening when your car is hissing?<\/span><\/strong><br \/>A sizzling or hissing sound almost always means there\u2019s a leak. This is doubly true if you can see your car leaking lots of fluid. The type of hiss it makes will let you know what type of leak it is exactly.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If this hiss sounds like water hitting a hot frying pan, it\u2019s most likely coolant or oil leaking on a hot part of the engine. Otherwise, it could signal damage to the vacuum hose resulting in another type of leak. Since vacuum hoses run all types of fluid through them (from sludge to hot oil), it\u2019s common for tears and cracks to form over time. Whatever fluid is running through it may seep out.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Alternatively, it might mean that there&#8217;s a drippy exhaust pipe if it\u2019s accompanied by steam flowing from the back of your vehicle. Don\u2019t try to play detective\u2014just take it to a mechanic who can sort out the problem for you.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">Your vehicle is making a rattling sound\u2014now what?<\/span><\/strong><br \/>Unfortunately, a rattling noise could mean a lot of things. Morgan Automotive Repair writes on their blog that it might mean an issue with your exhaust. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jdpower.com\/cars\/shopping-guides\/why-is-my-car-making-a-rattling-noise-when-at-idle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">J.D. Powers<\/a>, a company that collects data and consumer data, agrees that it could also be an issue with your exhaust.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"is-style-cnvs-paragraph-callout\">Rattling really can indicate a series of problems from a rusty exhaust system to a loose system clamp<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Rust and wear on the exhaust system can cause a rattling sound<\/strong>, which means it\u2019s time for a new muffler. Or, it could mean it\u2019s time for a new tailpipe. Or, it could mean a system clamp isn\u2019t tight enough. Maybe it\u2019s the heat shields?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Rattling really can indicate a series of problems. Instead of trying to DIY diagnose the situation, leave it to the pros. Also, remember that car safety is about maintaining your car before it starts to make strange noises. Always make sure your documents and routine car maintenance is up to date to drive safely.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your vehicle is one of your most expensive possessions.
