My car recently making a very loud noise once it goes pass 35mph. I had an alignment and rotation done at firestone approximately 2 months ago. So, I was thinking my tires aren't even. I rotated them and the noise still there. Any suggestion what wrong with it? much appreciate. Below are just videos of the noise to be more accurate.

your alignment was in spec? Tire worn? how old and how many miles on your car?

 

It's an 06 with 95k miles. Alignment should still be in specs and tires will probably need to replace soon, have approximate 30% or less left on tires

 

i know when i had the bfgoodrich tires on mine. they got really noisy when it was near time to change them. it might just be more road noise or uneven wear of your tires causing the noise.

 

Could be the wheel bearing or a warped/damaged brake disk. If it only sounds during rotation it is going to be in that area since the sound is still there after rotating the tires. Luckily both is fairly easy to replace if you are somewhat familiar with working on your car. I suggest taking it somewhere to get looked at.

From the sound, it sounds like wobble of the wheel itself(or something connected to it)from the pulsating tone it is making.

 

I'm going with old tires. TELL US THE BRAND AND MODEL.

 

Had a similar sound as well turned out it was my tires. Check your rear calipers as well and make sure they're not seized. I had both at the same time.

 

They're Firestone tires
If it a bad bearing, would the noise stay constant? Mine was louder at 40-50mph
@coffeysm: does your car still make the same noise on smooth road?

 

When I had a bad rear wheel bearing it made noises no matter what speed.

No, ever since I replaced the tires and fixed the caliper it's quiet. Have noises now from other places, lol.

 

I mean before you changed it.

 

how old and how many miles on your car?

 

The reason I said bearing or warped disk is because the sound did not move when you rotated the tires. I am surprised no one else read that part of your first post. If it was the actual tire or rim that was causing the sound it would have moved to the position that the tire is at now. If the sound is in the same place, then it would be obvious that it was not the tire. If the sound moved to the rear, then obviously its an issue with the tire or rim(balanced/warped/damaged). If you do not have AWD, the sound is still up front then that leaves only a few things bearings, disk or the brake pads.

 

I'm thinking more along the lines of wheel bearing. Like said above, single tire noise would move around with rotation. That being said, do you have the 18" option? If so, I know those tires are supposed to be a staggered size, and in both of those sizes, most tires come as directionals. And if you rotated them, how so? Front to back would put the wrong size in the wrong location, and left to right would leave a directional tire backwards which could make some noise, although I doubt that is happening. Just some food for thought though.

Brake noise, while possible, would usually make some type of change if you hit the brakes, whereas a wheel bearing usually stays the same. Sometimes If you turn back and forth real quick you can get the wheel bearing to stop making noise in one direction, or make more noise in one direction. Unless it's completely gone, then it will make noise no matter what

 

I'll try to change out my tires first. I'll keep you guys update.

 

Looks like the noises are due to the wheel bearing, changed tires and still having the same noise. Also, I was planning to upgrade my rotors when doing the bearings too. Do I need to change out a bigger brake if I'm planning on buying these rotors? links are below. Thanks
