Hello, there is a noise coming from my car it is not there just when the engine is idling but as I drive only and stops when I stop. It is not my engine I do not think so because it doesn't happen when the engine is idling. it sounds like something is making a noise that turns; maybe I could describe it as a loud humming maybe a grinding sound I'm not quite sure.

Is it possible to get a recording of this noise? Clearly the noise is related to a rotating component if it only happens when you are moving, so hearing it may help identify it.

Does it get faster as you drive faster?

Let us know and we can go from there. Thanks
