You guys are probably wondering what the hell is the subject about. Well, I get this weird noise when I'm driving under 20MPH and it comes on and off. It sounds like I'm dragging something under my car; therefore, the "whrrr". It is really pronounced and it isn't from my exhaust echoing. I also have this loud clacking/clicking noise when I turn in neutral. Is this the diff? Thanks! Latez!

Why do you turn in neutral?

The "whrrr" is probably the differential. Is it when you are coasting and decelerating?

Same question - why are you turning while in neutral?

I started getting a similar sound. Hard to reproduce in letters, but mine happens at high rpms. I've not heard it before.

I live in San Francisco (Frisco!!!) where there a lot of hills. The only time I turn when I'm in neutral is when I'm parking. I just let my momentum guide me. Trust me, I once tried going in a turn in neutral and it is scary. Latez!

Could it be the electric fan going on and off? I only hear it at low speed or stops.
