Hello all,
Posting to ask for input on an issue with my '05 SS/SC. I've started noticing a droning sound, much like tire noise. It started showing up only at highway speed, 60 mph and above, but gradually became louder and more noticeable at lower speed, to the point where now the drone is as loud at about 45 mph as it used to be at 70. I have 30k miles (47k km) on the car, with original Pirellis and stock rims.
At first I thought tire noise, but the sound is the same regardless of the type or quality of pavement surface; interstate concrete to 2-lane blacktop, wet or dry, warm or cool, makes no difference at all. Higher speed means more noise, lower speed means less.
Am I just misidentifying tire noise arising from normal wear, or is something else going on here, like rear wheel bearings needing r&r or repacking? Or are my ears fooling me, and is the sound actually originating from the front-end?
Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
