If it sounds like a jet taking off then it's most likely some rush of air so where/how does air under pressure come from? Well, it comes from your exhaust but you said that's been replaced. Could be a cylinder head gasket in a engine but you would have felt a lose of power if that was the problem.
Is it a bearing that just sounds like an air sound? As I've suggested with other people...have someone follow you, then pull up along side of you on both sides and see if they can hear/isolate where the sound is coming from.

Sometimes when you're driving it's hard to hear exactly where the sound is coming from because well....you're driving!
So having two people in another car riding along side of you on the highway or unpopulated back road can hear it better.

Just remember to do it safely...you are on the road after all but if you hear it at 40...you should be able to hear it loud and clear at 55 or 65 or whatever the speed limit is.

Going too slow on the highway is dangerous too so obey the speed limits.

Car drives good and smooth, new tires on car but when I aclerate car sounds loud like truck or motorcycle

Could be they did something when they changed the tires, or you have since poked a hole in the muffler, or knocked some rust loose exposing a hole in the muffler "OR" it is the tread noise from the new tires (cheap tires will do this)

How do i fix my car consumption of fuel

You need to offer more information... but basically I will say this:

1. Get a professional tune-up.
2. OR, if you are pretty handy with cars and tools,
a) Replace all the spark plugs with new ones from NGK.
b) Change out the fuel filter
c) Change the air filter
d) Change the oil and oil filter

THEN, take the car to a dealer and have the timing checked...

If the muffler system is the original, there is a slight possibilty that your catalytic converter needs to be replaced, and this will increase your fuel economy also. Lastly, make sure your tires are inflated to proper tire pressure... maybe 32 psi in all tires. Low tire pressure will decrease your fuel economy greatly, make it harder to steer, and will wear out your tires quicker.

I have a 2000 Volkswagen Beetle that is shaking while driving. It usually shakes when I reach up 55 or 60. I do have a hole on the muffler just before the catalytic converter. "I think". Not sure...

This is most likely an alignment a tire issue. The first thing to check is your tires. Make sure there aren't any foreign objects stuck in the tire tread. If you don't visually see anything take it to mechanic that can balance your tires and check your alignment.

I Had the tires rotated on my 2008 mazda cx9 at 13,000 miles in our local shop here,then i noticed a humming sound coming from front of vehicle and only when it approaches 50 to 55 mph,could it possibly be...

The noise is most likely caused by the different wear pattern on the tire that came from the rear of the car. The difference in the alignment between the front and rear suspension systems causes the tires to wear accordingly. It will take some time for the tires to wear in to their new environment. The noise should go away gradually. You should also check your tire pressure to make sure you don't have an improperly inflated tire.

We have a 2006 camery and we have to put new tires on it every 40,000 miles. after the first or the second tire rotation they tell us that the tires are feathering. we have the rotated every 5,000 miles...

Hello; welcome to FixYa. Please allow us to assist you.

There are a couple reasons for tire feathering.

First, the type of tire purchased and installed may have a lot to do with the issue. A low "Tread Wear number" (such as 150-180-200/imprinted on the sidewall) will wear faster, ie feather faster. The remedy here is to rotate the tires every 3,000 miles.

Second, and probably more importantly, is to consider how the alignment is, Since you did not mention any prior alignments, I would seriously recommend a 4-wheel alignment, and have the technican provide you "before" and "after" readings. I would suspect that you will see a front or rear 'toe-out' condition; in other words, the tires are turned slightly outwards. This will def give you some rather serious feathering.

Suggestion: Take your car to a qualified front end alignment shop; preferably at a Toyota dealership. They will be able to diagnose the alignment, and make the necessary adjustments to cure your problem.

Thanks for choosing FixYa for assistance today.

Resetting the tire pressure indicator on a chevy

Typically a tire pressure monitoring system uses an indirect measurement, and only measures the differences between the pressure in all of your tires. It does this by monitoring the speed at which the wheels are rotating. If one of the tires has low pressure, it will have to spin faster than the others, because the tire is partially flat, and the diameter of the tire is smaller.
If you are running different tire pressures in the front and back tires, then it might trigger the light to come on.
This might also be due to uneven tire wear or different size tires on the front and back.
Check the tire wear, and temporarily run equal tire pressure in the front and rear. It might take a few miles for the light to reset, so give it some time.

2001 2wd, v6 tracker LT, 110K miles; Grinding, clunking nosie

If it sounds like a rumble from back wheels it may be the rear end going out. Mine has been replaced twice with used rear end. You should be able to confirm it by looking at the rear tires both sides of tire for an oil leak or wet spot on tire or rim.

I have a Sentra 2001 with Winter tires and it seems that the noise from driving has suddenly increased by double. It sounds like a plane. The car idles fine so it isn't an engine problem. What could it be?

The first thing to try is to rotate the tires. Tread wear will definitely change the road noise heard by the driver especially with winter tires.

If the noise does not at least change somewhat after rotation then the problem is not tire related.
