This is for a 95 Talon AWD Auto
This has been going on for some time now. First I thought I just needed to change my tranny fluid, but that had no effect. I'm not convinced it's due to the tranny. Basically it sounds like the brake pad check device (little piece of metal scrapes against your rotor to let you know it's time to change pads). Stepping on the brake does nothing. It is deffinately speed related since it will make noise in any gear. It won't make noise until I go about 15mph. It doesn't go away until I come to a complete stop. It also sounds a little different when I'm slowing down. It sounds more like the tire is rubbing the indder fender plastic. It is a constant sound, does not oscilate or change unless speed changes. From inside the car it sounds more like electrical noise from a speaker, but instead of being engine speed related (like from the alternator) it builds with vehicle speed. It is most evident when I drive past a building or car and the sound can reflect off so I can hear it.
I know I've thrown a lot of things out there to try and diagnose, but I'm running out of ideas. I'm going to check the driveshaft carrier bearings and make sure it's not the brakes or anything rubbing on the driveshaft or other moving parts.
