What else could cause a roaring sound? New Tires!!!
What is your question?
Hi my name is Amanda and I'm having quite a bit of trouble finding out just what my car needs. I don't want to bring it to a shop cant afford the labor and parts those cost enough. Ok so it started out with a little pull and some shaking it wasnt every time i was in in just here and there. I figured it was due to the last 2 tires i had put on weren't rotated. Then the loud roaring started, it literally sounds like theres something under me about to take off.. We checked the brakes and the wheel bearings. The rear brakes we saw it best to chage as well as the rotors so that is new from about weeks ago on tomorrow. Wheel bearings passed the test so it doesn't seem to be that. And then yesterday i went and purchsed 4 brand new tires and had them put on and balanced. It did not fix my problem either, it seems to have quited a little and brief moments when I don't hear the roar which as befor it was consistent. PLEASE HELP WHAT ELSE COULD IT POSSIBLY BE
What makes this problem better or worse?
Acceleration louder

There is no more accurate test for a failing wheel / hub bearing than the well trained ear of an experienced mechanic during a test drive !
Jacking the vehicle up and manually testing for free play is inconclusive and doesn’t prove a thing.
I can drive a vehicle 1/2 mile and quickly determine if the roaring noise is emanating from a failing bearing - but I have been in the business for a VERY LONG TIME..
Inevitably you’re going to need this same testing to discover the actual culprit - which shouldn’t cost but a very little - IF anything.
At the shop here in Virginia, we do this sort of thing simply as an accommodation for our customers or even potential customers.
Good luck with it!
A failing / roughened wheel bearing makes its own distinctive sound as opposed to scalloped tire tread - which can be eliminated all together now since the tires are NEW.
What it boils down to is I strongly suspect a failing wheel / hub bearing IS indeed causing your concern .. Of course there are more testing procedures but the initial test drive is invaluable ..
Any subsequent testing is simply to reveal / confirm WHICH bearing is failing - - that too will require the attained knowledge that only comes from practical *hands-on* experience.
