Hi all!
I'm new to the site and having a problem (or 2) with my 2010 Forte Koup (79,000 miles). Hoping I can get some input. I'll apologize ahead of time if there was a better place I could have put this.
My first problem, tire rotation noise. While on the highway and over 50mph I get a pretty heavy tire rotation noise from the front right. I started hearing it about a month ago and it seems to have gotten louder since. I have no vibration at all in my steering wheel and can not feel it under my feet. Only sound, and only above 50mph. My father (who is very knowledgeable about cars) has taken it 2 times, and checked it over. Wheel bearings are good, no play on the tires. Breaks are only a few months old. Tires are around 6 months old and have no uneven wear.
With that being said, onto my second problem. All of a sudden I am getting a strange low, kind of hollow whistle/howling noise. ( exactly like when you blow over the top of a glass bottle) It's from the front end, and sounds like it's on the drivers side. I only hear it under 40mph. It does it on and off, it seems to be when the car leans to 1 side or the other, but not around a curve. It also gets substantially louder when I step on my brakes. It also seems to be getting louder in general.
I have no idea what either of these 2 things are. Like I said above, my father has checked the car multiple times, I have also had it checked by a mechanic... nothing.
Does anyone have any ideas? I know there is something wrong with my car, but everyone keeps telling me it's fine.
