What can cause a loud humming noise while driving?
I have a 2017 Ford Explorer and I love it so far. But last week, I noticed a loud humming noise while driving. What might be causing this humming?

We’re sorry to hear that your vehicle is giving you some trouble. If you’ve noticed a loud humming noise while driving your
Ford Explorer
, the issue is difficult to diagnose without a mechanic. If you want to try your hand at a bit of DIY diagnosis, look for these issues:
- Loose exhaust pipe(s)
- Unbalanced or unrotated tires
- Heavy-duty or winter tires
- Loose engine screws
- Low transmission oil
- Faulty alternator
- Damaged CV joint
- Faulty power steering pump
- Bad wheel bearings
Again, taking your car to the mechanic is your best bet. Only a professional can assess the issue with your car. Make an appointment as soon as possible.
