Hello, I have a problem with my car. It started about a month ago. A weird humming sound starts randomly, usually in the first minutes of starting the car. Lately, it was getting triggered by my first sharp turn to the left. After some time the sound just goes away.The more I accelerate, the quicker the sound, but it doesn’t get stronger or sharper. The noise was really faint initially, but it got a bit louder these past days. The mechanic didn’t find anything weird with the car. The wheels are well attached (apparently). At the time he wasn’t able to reproduce it so he just told me to bear with it, but now it’s a bit louder so I am getting nervous.

Here are 2 links for the sound output from inside the car, one for the old noise and one for the new one:

Any ideas what that would be?

Thanks for your response. You were right, it was the shaft bearings. I took it to the mechanics, since it was nothing I could fix by myself.

The U joint bearings? Glad it’s figured out either way and thanks for updating me! At least it’s a minor fix, just wish I could’ve helped more. Hope it’s resolved quickly and cheaply amigo
