Whirring Sound...What is it?
 

I notice there is a "whirring sound" that I hear when I am breaking. The Whirring sort of progressively slows down as the car slows and then stops when the car is stopped.

I thought the sound was coming from a rear axle that I knew was bad, but it has been replaced and I still hear it.

Any ideas???:confused:

That sounds unpleasant. Are you sure you aren't just braking?:P

I think you may have a speedometer cable making noise. It would be more noticeable during deceleration since the engine is making less noise at that time.

hmmm interesting idea! I'm gonna check it out, thanks!

My rear caliper used to make a low pitched hum.Solution Remove pads,clean and lube pistons,sliding areas,and pins.

Sounds like a squirrel under the hood..just kiddin.Pull the speedo cable loose and lube with w-d 40. Had the same problem till i lubed it.

I am not ruling this out, but I really don't think its the speedo. Any other ideas?
