The noise sounds like a metal grinding noise coing from the back passenger side of the vehicle. It only sounds when the gas is pushed and then it will turn off until the gas is pushed again. It only makes noise while in motion and it seems to occur once the vehicle is heated up. IF the gas pedal is pushed in towards any speed it will make noise until the speed levels out, then it turns off until the pedal is pushed in again.

Hello and thanks for donating


From your description, it seems as though you may have a faulty wheel bearing on one of the rear wheels. You will want to have the wheel bearings inspected immediately, if it is one that is bad it can be dangerous to drive with. Also inspect the rear brakes, worn out brakes could also cause a metal grinding noise.
