Every time I start my car in the colder weather, there's a really LOUD humming noise coming from under the hood. You can put it into drive and it still makes the noise. But once you start driving faster, it does go away. but you slow down again, and the noise comes back...So annoying...Can you please help..Thanks :)

Sounds like one of the belt driven components is humming. You could try spraying WD-40 around the pulleys (being careful not to get ANY on the belt).
