Common Car Noises and Their Likely Causes
Noise
More Details
Likely Cause
Fixing It
Clicking noise while turning
Starts faint, gradually becomes more noticeable until very loud
Failed outer CV joint (constant velocity joint) due to torn boot (most likely) or old age
Replace either the whole axle assembly (recommended) or the outer CV joint
Water pump noises
Difficult to diagnose because of water pump's location
Noise usually caused by damage to the bearings in failed water pump
Only cure is replacing it. If possible do it at the same time as a timing belt replacement to cut down on labor costs
Squeak or squeal from an engine belt
Loud, high-pitched squeak or squeal
Belts either need adjustment or replacing
If belts only squeak when damp, they probably just need adjustment. If they squeak constantly, they probably need to be replaced
Exhaust heat shield noises
Rattle that you hear when car is idling
Damaged heat shield
Replace heat shield

It is usually the bearings that cause the shrieking noise if you have a belt on it it could be needing straightened on the pulley and if you take the belt off and try and turn the drum and listen to see if it is the bearings slightly grinding they may have got water into them. The only other unit is the motor. The bumping noise can be caused if maybe a sock or something that can get between the drum and the casing also some washing machines have shockers and some have springs on top that can break through time and wear and this causes it to be unbalanced.
I would check the carrier bearing on the drive shaft. If that is Okay what you have described would suggest a bearing in the rear end. But I would check both sides wheel bearings. for leakage if one side is leaking it might just be a bad bearing on one side or the other.
If the noise sounds like a roar or growl increasing with speed, may come and go depending on turning left or right then you have a wheel bearing that has failed ( example; loud on right turn=left bearing as it is now loaded)
yes the loud road noise would be a front wheel bearing i check these by jacking the car and on stands then spin wheel by hand and other hand hold on the strut spring when feel a hard drag or meatlal to meatal feel that is the bad wheel bearing good luck
Sounds like you a bearing in flywheel is failing need to call Accell Fitness of North America @ Phone:

ck the CV boot. if its broken you need a new cv axle, if its ok, jack up the car so both wheels are off the ground. either put the car in drive or just manually spin each front wheel while gripping the coil spring for the front strut. if you feel any (roughness) at all, that wheel bearing is bad. it should be smooth. if you have a bad one you will know it by this method. Even good mechanics sometimes replace the wrong bearing, but this 100% works every time.
