Noise on moving
This is driving me nuts. I noticed yesterday that my Accord 2000 is
making a noise while driving on the highway. My first thought was
that it sounds like a small metal wire being dragged on the road. But
it comes and goes (for long intervals). So it can't be that. And I
stopped and checked for any dangling metal parts underneath the body.
I did not see anything that would come in contact with the road.
If I listen carefully, the noise is like a small metal ring rotating
really fast on a metal rod. No sound on stopping or when in reverse.
But then the reverse driving is so infrequent that that may not be a
correct assumption. You know, sometimes it does not make that noise
while going forward too.
I opened the windows and the noise got louder so it is probably on the
outside. (On the highway, the wind and traffic noise does not make it
appear louder, but on smaller roads it definitely seems so) I have not
opened the hood because there is no noise while the car is stationary
and driving with an open hood is a little dangerous, I am told. ;-)
(And I would take the risk if there was a way to look inside while
driving with an open hood.)
It even reminds me of the 'belt' noise some old cars make on starting
(mostly) in winter. But *that* noise is louder and comes even while
standing.
And one more thing as it maybe important -- I noticed that pressing
the brake pedal sometimes stops it. So it makes me think it might be
related to the clicks I felt in the brake pedal a few days back. Like
some metal wire coming in the way of pressing the pedal. That went
away after a few days.
Do you think I should take it to the shop and have it looked at right
away or can I wait a few weeks for the next scheduled service (in
about 4 weeks now).
Thanks and kind regards,
bc

It quite possibly could be the heat shield on the front part of the exhaust
system.

Re: Noise on moving
could be a few things, possibly the backing plate of your front brakes
contacting the roters, could be the pads are worn out and need replacing, or
possibly even small debris between your pads and rotors, among numerous
other possibilties, bring it to a garage and have them track it down for you

Re: Noise on moving
I had a smiliar noise on my 2000 honda accord, turned out to be wear
indicator for rear disc brakes, considering I only had about 24k miles on
it, I was a bit disappointed they went out so fast. Neither my wife or I
ride the brakes nor do we abuse them.
