Hi Rachel. Thanks for contacting us today. There could be a few sources of this type of noise, ranging from a worn out serpentine belt or pulley, a minor vacuum leak or other belts that might need to be replaced. With less than 50,000 miles, I wouldn’t suspect wheel bearings at this point, but it’s impossible to rule them out. It’s best to have a professional mechanic come to your location to complete a noise inspection, so they can determine the root source of this noise and recommend the right repairs.
