Strange noise (2013 CR-V)
Got a strange car noise I cant figure out. Gonna see a mechanic this week but thought Id post here for input. Noise is pretty concerning, and its my only vehicle right now.
Initial sound almost sounds like something is dragging under the front of the car. It definitely involves the brakes, because I hear this dragging noise when I apply the brakes. But its not exclusive to the brakes, because Im also hearing a sort of rhythmic scraping sound when Im not pressing the brakes. The rhythm seems to mirror the rate of the wheels turning, and it seems inconsistent (sometimes louder and obvious, but sometimes lets up, without a clear reason why). I did notice today the sound seems to possibly let up when I turn the wheel to the right, and then when I straighten it out the noise comes back.
So again, as I drive the volume of this scraping" waxes and wanes slightly, and aside from that connection to turning right, I dont see other obvious factors.
To the extent I can localize this sound it seems to be coming from the left front of the car. This has only been going on for 3 or 4 days and so seemed to come on fairly suddenly. It may have worsened over these few days, particularly with the scraping noise being more obvious while driving, when brakes arent applied. But Im not completely sure about that, as its often fairly subtle and Im listening increasingly carefully. On a (limited) visual inspection I dont see anything obvious. Car itself feels more or less OK driving.
