14603, A sort of hum while pressing gas peddle around 60mph
Posted by DrkWtsn, Feb-11-02 11:06 AM
I searched and couldnt find anything so i thought i would go ahead and ask.
While coasting at 60mph there is no noise what so ever
but whenever i even slightly step on the gas peddle down it makes this odd noise... it sounds like something you would hear from the tires like a tire hum... but it wouldnt make any sense that it would do it when i just even ever so slightly tap the peddle... and it only does it around 60 mph
or higher


anyone have any clue????

possibly a wheel bearing??? jack the front of your car up and see if you can wiggle the wheels freely or take it somewhere to get it checked out. do you hear anything when you turn going down the highway??? and more and more at higher speeds???

is it your fuel pump buzzin?? mine does on the highway at diff throttle positions.

maybe yank your backseat out, and listen for it back there.

just a thought

Mine does the same thing! I would say it's the wheel bearing though.

if it was you would think it would do it all the time
and not just when you step on the gas
even the slightest bit
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
