You should be sensitive to the details of your car because when your car creates a strange noise, then, it signals a serious problem. Whenever your car emanates unusual noises, they should immediately be heeded as they could pose a major safety risk not only to yourself but also to other road users.

When there’s a ticking sound which increases as you accelerate, then, it could mean fan defective tappets or too much valve clearance. It could also mean a worn-out joint in the drive shaft or a loose part on a wheel. A loud squeaking sound is often caused by the fan belt when it needs adjustments.

When on an uneven road surface and a thumping sound us heard, it’s an indication that something is amiss with the chassis of the car, or shock absorbers. While a squealing or scraping sound denotes a worn-out brake pads, dirt on the brake rotors, or could also be defective tappets.
