I had a terrible noise coming from my wheels the other day - sounded like a puncture or something falling off. It turned out to be a scrap of insulation tape stuck to a wheel and flapping against the wheel arch

| Post subject: | Strange noise |
Hi. I have just discovered a strange noise from my car. I only hear it when I drive with one or both of my front windows down, and when the car is moving. The noise is not coming from the engine it self (don't hear it when I rev the engine while standing still). It's a bit difficult to explain the noise in English here, but it sounds like an irregular tik-tika-tik noise. Like something is hanging down and touching the wheels when they rotate. I have checked the wheels but can't see anything wrong. Fitted with 205-50-R15. OK.. not so easy to explain.. but maybe some of you have heard the same noise.... |

could be your windows knocking against something inside the door, try them half way up and see if you can still hear it. |

not to be patronising, but check for stones in your tyres.... |

have you had your brake pads changed recently? the springs are quite fragile and can become loose leaving the pin guide free to bang around makin noises.give it a look see. |

Is it constant in a straight line, if so i've got it too  check for stones in the tread tho, cos it got a lot quieter when i did that, still there tho, so i'm thinking either the hydraulic tappets... or.... the power steering belt!!!!!
