If you hear these sounds while driving, you need to stop driving immediately

1. Brakes make a squeaking noise

Brakes are the most critical component affecting vehicle safety. If there is a problem with the brake system, it will lead to a longer braking distance or even brake failure, which is very dangerous. In the brake system, the most likely problem is the brake pad.

It is a wear part and needs to be replaced in time when it is worn to the limit. So how do we know it has reached its limit? In addition to regular inspections, sound is also an important reference standard. There is an iron sheet on the edge of the brake pad. When the brake pad is worn to the limit, the iron sheet will rub against the brake disc and make a squeaking sound.

2. The tire makes a clicking sound

When driving in a quiet place, you can clearly hear a rhythmic clicking sound from a certain tire. The faster the speed, the higher the frequency. At this time, you should stop and check all the tires, because you probably can't tell which tire is making the sound, so all tires should be checked, and the focus should be on checking whether the tires have nails. In practice, many such noises are encountered. They are all caused by a large nail piercing the front of the tire. As the tire rotates, the nail cap collides with the ground and rubs against it, producing a sound. Of course, some noises are caused by a large stone stuck in the tire pattern, and the stone collides with the ground and rubs against it. In short, you need to check and determine the cause before you can continue driving.

3. Buzzing sound from the tire

It is also emitted near the tire, a buzzing sound, like a motorcycle driving next to you, the faster the speed, the louder the buzzing sound. This is most likely because the bearing of a wheel is damaged. As the wheel rotates, the ball inside is abnormally worn and makes a noise. This also needs to be replaced in time, because a broken bearing will cause different resistance between the left and right wheels, which will cause deviation during driving and braking, and it may be completely stuck at some point, causing rapid deviation and tail swinging, which is dangerous.

4. The engine makes a rattling sound

When accelerating, the engine makes a rattling sound, which is most likely the sound of knocking the cylinder, and there is a component damage or a problem with the gasoline. You must not continue to drive at this time, because this is the sound of the piston and cylinder hitting each other. If the number of collisions increases, the cylinder wall will inevitably be scratched and damaged, resulting in the need for an engine overhaul.
