Too bad you can't be more descriptive, like "braaapa... braapa... huuha...
huuha" or whatever.
I'm embarassed to say I had some funny noise coming out of my car, and tracked
it down to loose emblem letters on the front of the hood. They sure make a
racket if the clips are loose behind the letters. Some loctite fixed that. Other
noises I fixed were coming from a couple loose body to frame bolts, and loose
fender screws. Also check your bumper to frame bolts, shock absorber mounts, and
front suspension bolts. If it were a wheel problem you'd probably feel some
shimmy on the road, but it wouldn't hurt to check the wheel bearings, the
caliper bolts, and lugs.

OK
I've been getting this weird noise coming from the car. I first
thought that it was due to my cracked exhaust manifold, but after
installing a header, the sound is still there. Here is the
description of the noise.
I mostly notice it coming out of the passenger side when I am driving
along side a wall for the sound to bounce from. I'm not sure if it's
a wheel problem or an exhaust problem. I first thought that it might
be a bad connection between the muffler and the pipes connecting it
since the sound seemed to come when I accelerated. Now without the
noise from the cracked manifold gone, it sounds to be more of a
metallic sound. The sound isn't sporadic, but not completely rhythmic
either.
My thoughts are it is either a brake/disc problem or an exhaust problem.
Do you guys have any idea of what it could be, or things to look out
for to narrow down the source? Thanks again.
