Q: Car makes a whine noise when i drive from take off to about 30mph and then goes away
From take off my car makes a whine type sound that sounds like a supercharger but much more faint and once I hit about 30mph plus it goes away altogether. It does not do this in park but only in drive. And if i had to guess it sounds like it is coming from the front drivers tire area. Thank you
My car has 148696 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
