This noise has also been gradually getting louder, and I finally decided to do something about it. A consensus of mechanically-inclined people led me to believe the problem was the wheel bearing.<\/p>\n<p>The noise sounded like it was coming from the passenger side front tire, so I grabbed a wheel bearing from Auto Value for ~$75. Swapped it out, hopped on the road&#8230;and my car was still making noise. I&#8217;m not sure if the noise changed at all or if it was just in my head, but it sounded like the noise was now coming from the front driver&#8217;s side wheel. Another $75 and a couple hours of work later, both the front wheel bearings on my car are brand new &#8211; and the noise is gone!<\/p>\n<p>Picture 1 shows the old and new passenger side bearings&#8230;quite the difference. I&#8217;m not sure how bad the old bearing was, but the seals appear to be on their very last legs, so it didn&#8217;t have long to go even if it wasn&#8217;t bad yet. Picture 2 shows the bad wheel bearing from the driver&#8217;s side. It actually started coming apart when I used the puller to remove it. It&#8217;s for sure shot.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-200 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.leapinggnome.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/WP_000093.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leapinggnome.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/WP_000093-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.leapinggnome.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/WP_000108.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leapinggnome.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/WP_000108-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>So happy to have a healthy-sounding car again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So for the last year or so my car has been making a humming noise, starting at about 30 MPH and increasing in pitch\/intensity the faster I go.
