In reply to Shawnya Hernandez. Check your power steering and transmission fluid. Are either of those reservoirs low?

I have a loud humming noise coming from the front of the car. I have a 2012 Nissan Altima. The noise happens when I drive and accelerate.

This site is very helpful. I have a Holden Captiva. Same mechanic for 12 years. Sadly he had to retire. The car has always been looked after in great condition. It always drove so quietly sometimes when I would start it, I would have to turn it off and on to make sure it was running.
My next service I took it to Geraldton Four Wheel drive. It has never been the same since. The first thing I noticed was it was noisy when I put my foot on the accelerator. Then it broke down 4 times had to call out RAC. Ended up taking back to my retired mechanic who sorted it out al except the noise when accelerating.

In reply to Pam. You should take your car to the mechanic. I can't diagnose sounds based on a text description, unfortunately. The whine could be the serpentine belt, a pulley, or even something in the transmission if it sounds like gear whine.

I have a 2012 Honda CRV. I hear a whining noise from what seems like the driver side of the engine while accelerating between 30-40 mph then stops. It repeats when I stop and go. Please help me.
Also, sometime when I start the car I hear an urggg…sound right before turning over. It does not prevent it from turning over but the sound is scary to me. Help

In reply to Sam. My guess is the serpentine belt, but it could be several things. I think it's best to get someone to take a listen to help you narrow it down. You might be able to pop the engine bay and determine if it's coming from one of the belts or maybe something in the transmission.

I have a 2011 Jeep grande Cherokee at 147k miles. I noticed a high pitch whinny sound as soon as I started my car. It continued to whine but when I was going 55-60mph it would stop but as soon as I slowed down it continued to whine. Any ideas of what this could be?

In reply to Jon. No ideas. What is the year, make, and model of your vehicle? Can you tell where the noise is coming from? Front or back, on one side more than the other?
