Ok so this sound has started in the past few days. when i start driving and the car once it puts load on the car i hear a almost bubbly sound, or a tap tap tap sound, performance has NOT changed. it drives fine feels fine but make this odd noise. while it idles no noise. while i rev while not moving no noise. only under load. did the screwdriver listen method no sign of knock. ALSO noticed today when i turn left i hear kind of a dunk dunk dunk sound similar to the first sound but deeper, sound like CVs?

 

Also got to make note i cant hear any noise while cruising at freeway speed

 

jack the car up and put it on stands and run the car while turning the wheel? iono if that'd work but just an idea

 

may have to try that this week. its very odd.

 

well i mean if you're suspecting the cv joint you're not going to be able to tell unless you get the car running while you can get under it and listen for the noise you know? not sure if putting a load or just putting it in D will create the same effect

for me i have a similar noise when its just really cold and its under load while turning but ONLY while turning until the car warms up

 

hmm ok, i just dont seem to get why it does it while starting to drive yet not while going 70mph

 

took it for another drive, only makes sound under load and seems to be throughout the entire RPM band. gets worse on left turns. Yes doesnt make sound if i toss it into neutral and coast.

 

Interesting yeah kinda hard to say but possibly trans. but wheel bearings or axles

 

i have this one too, i thought it was time for CV's but after i drive a couple mins i never hear i again.

@soulless let me know if you find out what that is bro.

 

I've had the same problem, noise when I accelerate while turning and with car cold, but I really thought it was only the wheels hitting ice stuck inside the wheelwell's... Noise is like if someone was rubbing a screwdriver on an empty plastic water bottle.... I could be wrong though, CV's are a possibility. But they did not warm up while driving... Not at minus 38 yesterday.

 

Mine is not an issue of bein cold than warming up mine does it at all times

 

So i jacked the car up and spun each wheel by hand. Passenger side whell spun no issue no sounds. Driver side while spinning by hand i heard a slight "Dah dunk dah dunk dah dunk" type sound which would lead me to believe its my wheel bearing. Would this be a valid assumtion?

 

hope someone can verify this, id like to get rid of the clunking sound too

Noise while turning and accelerating, possibly under wheel-slip? Ignore it... seems to be an RA thing.

 

idk bout ignoring it as it JUST started happening. i could see if it was a common issue like the reverse squeek sound from the breaks but not this.
