Help With My Accord; Annoying Noise
Its got a noise.....sounds like a high pitch squeling noise sort of. like a teapot i guess you could say.
Well anyways its from my left front wheel. It happens all the time for the most part, but it goes away whenever i turn my wheel to the left or i step on the brakes. Usually when i turn my car to the right, itll make the noise come back all the time...
Also my car is humming when i am in reverse,,,,,but not the engine hum, its coming from somewhere else, i can figure it out tho. Its a loud hum. Like a fart noise. Thanks

You're explaining the classic worn brake pad situation to me. A noise from the front wheels that goes away and comes back whenever it wants.
Just the sound you're talking about doesn't match. When you're brakes wear down, you hear a light, metallic grinding. It's not loud, but it's noticable.

i would pull your front wheels off and look at your pads. I'm not sure how its set up on the year you have but there should be a little metal tab that scrapes the wheel when the pad wears down. If its touching the rotor...nuff said.
Otherwise i would find like a wide road and turn the steering wheel while your drive. (not enough to wreck obviously) but just back and forth and see if the sound goes away like exactly when you turn left or right. It's probably a bearing then.
And i also agree, i have no clue what the other sound is. Sorry

i had that tire plugged at sears. about a week later (a few weeks ago) it started.
if you ask me it does sound like somehow my rotors are touching something.
again i have tested. it starts if my vehicle is turned to the right....goes away when its turned to the left and goes away when i hit the brakes
i can tell my brakes are wearing because when i hit the brakes my car starts to vibrate....only a little
