What Car Noises Mean
It’s important to pay attention to the noises coming from your car — they could be telling you that something is wrong! Here are some of the most common noises that vehicles make when they need service or repairs. If you hear any of these while driving, be sure to bring your ride to Avery Greene Honda so we can check it out.
Squealing noises

If the squeals are coming from under the hood, you may have a loose or worn accessory belt that needs to be replaced. A squeal or squeak when you turn the wheel could be an issue with the suspension or steering.Grinding noises
When you brake and hear a grinding or growling noise, this indicates that your brake pads have fully worn out and the calipers are rubbing against the rotors. It also indicates that your vehicle is unsafe to drive until you get the brakes repaired!Clunking noises
A clunking sound when you drive over a bump or pothole could mean that your suspension’s shocks, struts, ball joints, or control arms could be wearing out and need to be replaced. Clunking under the hood could mean that your engine has a major problem.Knocking noises
If you hear a knocking noise from the engine, you might be driving with the wrong gasoline grade. It may also indicate a more serious engine problem. Don’t wait to get it checked out.Hissing noises
Hissing sounds under the hood are generally a sign that your vehicle has sprung a leak. Common leaks include oil, coolant, and escaping air from the vacuum system.Roaring noises
If you hear an out-of-the-ordinary roar when you accelerate, your exhaust system might be damaged. You may also hear rumbling, hissing, or chugging noises.If you hear any new noises from your vehicle, don’t ignore them!
