(Baonghean.vn) - When your car suddenly makes an unusual noise that was not there before, it could be a sign that a part is having a problem and needs attention... The following article will help you decode some common noises in cars.

The noise and the screeching were deafening.

If the engine compartment of the car has a screeching sound accompanied by noise when starting the engine, the sound lasts for a long time, think about one or some bearings are dead. Before, the sound may be very small, but then gradually increase. The bearings inside the engine compartment can be ball bearings, belt bearings, air conditioner ball bearings...

Depending on the type of noise, the cause can be diagnosed more accurately. If the noise is squealing, it may be due to the bearings running out of grease, causing the metal parts to rub against each other. If the noise is loud and consistent, it may be due to broken or chipped bearings or cracks in the bearing raceways.

- Worst consequences:A stuck ball can cause the belt to break or slip. Therefore, as soon as you discover this, you need to take your car to get it fixed as soon as possible.

The dry rustling sound grew louder

This cry can last for a very long time, at firstunclear then gradually increased. Until the noise was loud and clear, it was discovered that the engine was not well lubricated, causing the metal parts to rub against each other in an unlubricated state, causing wear and tear, emitting noise.

The cause could be a clogged oil line, or the oil has not been changed for a long time, causing the oil to lose its quality and become dirty. The louder the noise, the worse the lubrication inside the engine.

- Worst consequences:The engine was completely damaged, from the piston, cylinder, camshaft, connecting rod, piston rings, and many other details.

The screeching sound is even.

This noise is easily recognizable, characteristic of rubber rubbing against a metal surface. If the noise appears when the machine is first started when cold and disappears after a few minutes when the machine warms up, it is due to a loose or hardened belt. But if the squealing noise persists, it is time to replace the belt immediately.

To confirm that the squealing noise is coming from the belt, you can test it by spraying clean water on the belt while the engine is running. If the noise disappears when the belt is wet, it is definitely damaged.

- Worst consequences:The belt broke, disabling many other systems such as air conditioning, power steering, generator, coolant pump...

Wheel hum

Normally when driving at low speed in the city, you will not see any unusual signs. But when driving at high speed on the highway, a buzzing sound from one of the wheels can be assumed to be a damaged wheel hub; the noise will increase proportionally with the speed of the vehicle.

The cause of hub bearing death is due to long-term use, the lubricating grease inside the bearing dries or gradually disappears. Or because the vehicle often goes into flooded areas, while the bearing seal is loose, allowing water to enter and damage the bearing.

- Worst consequences:When the hub bearing is loose, the loud noise can cause the wheel to vibrate when operating, affecting braking efficiency.

Squeaking sound in the brakes

In the morning, when starting out, the driver will hear a screeching or squealing sound when stepping on the brakes, and the brakes may feel more sticky than usual. If after about 5-10 minutes and several times of braking, the sound disappears, then it is a normal phenomenon. The cause may be due to rain or washing the car, the brake pads and discs have not had time to dry.

But if the noise appears continuously for a long time, it is an abnormal sign; the cause can be different and the vehicle needs to check the brake noise plate, brake pad wear, brake pad fluid, brake disc warping, cup-pen stuck in brake piston...

• Worst consequences:It is the case of the brake pin being stuck due to the cup being stuck in the piston, causing the brake to jam.
