My car makes a whooping noise that's very noticeable over 20 mph, and the last 4 times I've driven it, it seems to be getting a little louder each time... I suspect it's some kind of tire issue because the noise speeds up as I accelerate, but not sure exactly what it is.. The noise stops when I apply breaks.. I think this noise started after I made a 5 hour drive, and a week or so later, left my car sitting for a few days while on vacation... Not sure if that's relevant.... Also know I'm in need of rotors/break pads in the somewhat near future and wondering if that might contribute to the issue at all?? Thanks in advance, hope this info helps.
What makes this problem better or worse?
Seems to stop when breaking.
