1998 Ford Escort

Question: ongoing buzzing sound outside of car after 20 minutes of driving.

Question

Visitor, 2.0L 4 Cylinder SOHC, Cottage Grove, WI, March 19, 2010, 08:23

I am still driving my 1998 Ford Escort and overall very pleased but the last 5 years there has been a constant buzzing sound that only appears after 20 minutes of driving. Very loud, embarrassing and annoying. I haven't had it checked twice and know ones knows what it is. Afraid to have it looked at further for the labor/costs. The car is still running but the miles are piling up....looking forward to a new car soon. I have been told it could be an overworked bering....... ??

    without hearing or experiencing this...it could be anything from hub or wheel bearing to transmission or even the alternator. Buzzing or whirring noise?
