Squeaky Brakes

Car brakes are some of the most used parts of a car. Meaning these parts need to be serviced or adjusted to stay in top shape. Brakes will typically make some noise when they need some fixing. If you hear that squeaking sound coming from your car brakes, it could be an indication that the rotors or brake pads are wearing thin. A mechanic can correct these problems by lubricating the brake systems or replacing the worn parts.

Engine Rattling

Rattling sounds in a car engine are because of the premature ignition. It can also be called pre-detonation. Some of the causes of this issue are improper fuel octane, engine overheating, or improper ignition timing. These major problems result in the poor mixing of air and fuel in the engine cylinder. Therefore, it will contribute to an early ignition and may damage various parts such as the valves, pistons, and the connecting rods.

Engine Clicking

Low oil levels contribute to the clicking sounds coming from a car engine. Checking the fuel levels using a dipstick will help you decide whether to add oil or to consider checking the valve train.

Knocking From Under the Hood

Knocking sounds under the hood may indicate a more significant issue. Therefore, you will need the attention of a sharp mechanic who will check the issue at the valves, pistons, connecting rods, and other components.

Engine Squealing

Several issues can cause engine squealing. For old vehicles, the culprit here is the loose accessory belts, which operates various components such as the alternator, power steering pump, and the air conditioner compressor. For newer vehicles, the squealing sound is from a loose, worn or misaligned serpentine belt.
