Strange car noises can mean anything from a minor issue to a serious fault. Knowing when to act can save you money—and keep you safe.
Common Noises and What They Mean
Squealing when braking: Often worn brake pads
Clunking over bumps: Could be suspension or steering
Rattling under the bonnet: May signal loose parts or engine issues
Whining from the engine: Check belts or fluid levels
Should You Ignore It?
Definitely not. What starts as a small issue can turn into an expensive repair. We always recommend having your vehicle checked sooner rather than later.
