• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What could this be?

I have a 2000 Grand Prix GTP and as soon as I get up to about 20 mph I start to hear a noise in the front end that sounds like something is winding up. The faster I go the louder it gets, almost sounds like the wheel is rubbing something, even though it's not. Car has never done this before. I also have a cold air intake just to give you guys a little more info. Car doesn't make the sound when ideling. Any ideas what I should check? Thanks,

Brendan

Maybe a wheel bearing. Does the noise go away if you swerve one way or the other?

Just took it out for a spin. No, noise stays whether you turn or not, just gets louder the faster you go. Sounds like the wheel is rubbing something but I know it's not???

^^^ haha thats what i was thinking when i first read it if you just put the air intake on.. the whine will be alot louder than it was which is what you may think it is
 
I bought the car a few months ago and the Air Intake was already installed, and still sounds the same. I noticed you guys mentioned the Supercharger maybe going bad. How can you tell? The noise happens regardless if the supercharger kicks in or not. Also does not make the noise when just idling or at a stoplight in gear. Tires are fairly new but I'm going to switch the back to the front and see if that makes a difference. Could have a bad tire in the front???????? Thanks guys! Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.
