Almost sounds like the weird noise the cartoon Jetson's car makes.

I cannot figure it out... Wheel bearing? If so, why does it sound like it's coming from the dash area?

Speedometer cable, does this car even have one?

It just recently started making this noise. have had the car for three years. Second owner.

Sure there is.. you are just not hearing it.

20 to 25 second accelerates and 25 to 28 decelerates.

You need to charge the battery and then start it and check the charging system.
