There is an increasing loud noise from the right front passenger tire, the tire is worn uneven and the noise only appears when you excelerate it sounds like the tire is out of round but it only happen when you excelerate could it be the tire or a breaing

    No the noise stays the same when turning or swerving. The noise starts at a low speed and stops around 20 to 40 mph and after 40 to 80 it gets louder as you increase in speed. it is constand at low speed a constant tone. Would this happen with a out of round tire?

Does the noise get louder or change tones when you change lanes (swerve back and forth on the road)? If so it is a hub bearing. If you suspect it being a tire rotating it from the front to ther rear should answer your question aswell.

    I would still rotate or replace the worn uneven tire, a simple rotation doesn't cost any money and it would move the noise to a new location. Also you obviously need a new tire, money spent on a new one wouldn't be a waste and you should really start out by fixing the obvious problems before guessing at other possible causes.

Loud whining noise especially on exceleration in 2010 Mazda Tribute

A loud whining noise on acceleration in a 2010 Mazda Tribute could be a sign of a few different issues. Here are some potential causes:
  1. Power steering pump: A whining noise can be an indication of a failing power steering pump. The noise may increase when the steering wheel is turned.
  2. Alternator: If the whining noise increases with engine speed, the alternator may be failing. This is because the alternator is responsible for charging the battery and powering the car's electrical system.
  3. Transmission: A whining noise during acceleration could also be a sign of transmission issues, such as low transmission fluid levels, worn bearings, or a damaged gear.
  4. Differential: A whining noise that increases with speed could also be a sign of a failing differential. This is the part of the car that transfers power from the engine to the wheels.
It's important to have a professional mechanic diagnose and fix the issue to prevent further damage to your vehicle.

Whining noise progressively gets louder with speed

One wheel turning faster than the other is normal if both wheels are off the ground. If one wheel is dragging when the other wheel is on the ground, it could be brakes or a wheel hub bearing.
Usually if the noise happens on right turns, the left hub bearing is failing, and vice versa.

My car makes a clicking noise from the right tire when turning either direction

It could probably be your passenger CV Axle that needs to be replaced. They tend to make a loud/soft clicking noise if they go out.

Uneven tire wear on passenger side--front & back. Inner tread worn more than outer.

you'll need an alignment to determine if their is any parts failure

Dronning sound, increases with speed. sounds almost like stuck in third gear but does not go away when coasting in nuetral

Check wheel bearings, most likely front 1 or both. get up to speed and take some corners, if it quits down when turning right, the front right wheel bearing is bad. If you turn left and it quiets down, then its the left front thats bad(important to maintain 30-50 mph). They are sold as the whole hub. Also check your front tires, run your hand across the inside and outside edge and see if they are worn uneven, this can make a lot of noise if the tires are bad. if thats the case, have someone check the ball joints and tie rods, if they are bad, it will do that to the tires, thus the unevenly worn tires making a paddling noise effect.

2002 eldorado makes a loud noise when I'm driving. If I'm parked and pressing the gas I don't hear it but as soon as I begin to drive and I get around 15 mph I hear it coming from the passenger side. I...

If the noise doesn't change when you turn left or right while you are moving than The first thing I would look at is the tire. Check for uneven wear or cupping. The tread should be worn evenly and smoothly all the way around the tire. Something you can try to at least eliminate the tires as the problem is to rotate the tires. If the noise changes, stops, or moves from the front to the rear than you know its the tires.

If the noise still persists after rotating the tires than we will have to think of something else.

1999 Chevy Cavalier Trying to get this ready for my kid to go back to college. Recently replaced both front tires, brakes, drivers wheel bearing and exhaust leak. The car makes a lot of road noise while...

I have the same thing going on with my 2002 cavalier. I replaced wheel bearings with no luck. My tires also wore uneven toe. Going to try alignment. I'm sure it's the same problem as you describe and it's really annoying. Right hand turns remains the same but long left turns will quite the howling. If you find a solution to this.... let me know

My 94 plymouth voyager sounds and acts like a wheel bearing humm. i've replaced front and rear wheel bearings and the humm is still there.

I'd certainly rotate tires to see if noise changes at all, as well as take a good look at tread on front tires, especially for excess or unusual wear on edges, especially outside of right front, if your quite sure the noise is coming from the right side. Does the noise increase, decrease, or stay same, on a left hand turn? Another thing would be to check all motor, and transmission mounts and see if it looks like things may have shifted slightly, or if they appear worn or broken, as well as If engine/transaxle has shifted slightly it can cause similar noises as well. As far as left front bearing goes, I wouldn't rule it out 100% either, unless you are positive noise is from right front area. You have to remember, either way you turn the wheel, will slightly shift either bearing if there is play in it. Rule out easy stuff first like tires.

Frontend noise, can feel it in the floor on the driver and passenger side,about 60k.miles on it. Steering Rack????

Depending on the kind of noise, it could be a wheel bearing or a tire worn unevenly. An indicater of a bad steering rack usually includes hard or inconsistant steering. Look at your tire and see if it is cupped or worn more in some spots, if so there is probably a loose or worn bearing or tie rod end.
Good luck. Please rate this solution, thanks.

Whirring noise from the front of car as you drive.

I would first rule out the possibility of a "rough" tire making the noise. You can move the two front tires to the rear of the vehicle and see if that changes the noise any. If it does, you might have a worn tire that needs replacing or a tire that has worn unevenly and should be rotated and balanced more often....

Good luck..
