What is this noise!?

[BEEMDUB]

So I just started noticing this noise about 3 weeks ago but I think its gotten a bit worse in the last couple days, I don't know what the hell it is but it sounds like its coming from the left front wheel, and once I start going faster that say 8-10 miles an hour it fades away, I've noticed that it only does it when I first take off in the car...Heres a video I took, I know it hard to hear kinda when the wind kicks in but you can hear it

I listened to it a few times and I can't figure out what noise you are talking about.

All I hear is tire noise on gravel, and wind. You need a flat piece of newer blacktop if you want to capture any other sounds.

cant tell in vid. Maybe got something stuck in the backing plate of the rotor?

ahhhhhh, I was afraid you guys wouldn't be able to hear it ....If you knew the sound you would pic up on it but basically its like as that wheel turns you hear the squeek and it gets faster as the speed increases and eventually goes away after about 10-15 mph so on takeoff it sounds like (and don't laugh at this lol) "squeeeeek squeeeeek squeeeek squeeeek squeeek squeeek squeeksqueeksqueeksqueek *fades off*"


p.s. yes i know its spelled squeak haha

Before I did a complete front upgrade of brakes calipers and rotors, I had the same noise. Afterwards It wasn't there anymore. Try to check your pads and rotor dust shield. If not those things, then it may be your bearing.

Dust and old grease combined make squeaking did you try to degrease and pressure wash the area.

i had a noise like that before. Rust built up in the caliper shim pushing the shim into the rotor. I removed the caliper and chiseled away the rust and that shoved my problem

Well I'm gonna have to go out there in a second and do somthin because in the last week its gotten way worse I heard it while I was going like 40 mph today and even on the expressway!

Does noise get worse in a turn? If so probably wheel bearing.

nope makes no difference through the turn, and the noise stops whenever the breaks are applied...I didn't have my jack stands at my house yesterday so I said forget it and just dropped it off to the shop I take my truck to for everything and they're going to fix it.

I think I've got the same problem as you. My sound doesn't really go away when I speed up though; rather its more like the engine just gets loud enough to drown out the squeak. Definitely seems to be coming from front driver side wheel area though.

How old is your brake pads? When mine got worn out they made a bad squeaking sound.

Yea the bad noise is actually my REAR left brake pad and rotor....My warranty gets activated tomorrow so after that gets figured out I will be taking it to the dealer and getting new pads and rotors.

Carefull. Most warranties don't cover brakes and rotors.
