hissing noise coming from front right side?

[90Haccord]

Im getting a hissing noise coming from my front right side at about 25-30mph.


BUT IT ONLY STARTS after a good 20-25min of city driving where I have to use my brakes alot, on normal highway driving if there is no city driving before it, no sounds.


Ideas?

can't be a wheel bearing because that makes a humming sound.

you sure it's not like a faint metal on metal scraping? if i were you, i'd jack up that front right side with your ebrake off but rear wheels chocked.
just get it up and spin that sucker. see if you could recreate that sound.

[90Haccord]

yea don't think its a wheel bearing.


Only thing I can add is, it started happening about 50 miles after getting new brake pads. Could be a metal to metal sound, its not a hum, its a HISS HISS HISS or CHA CHA CHA CHA but only after heavy in city driving with braking.

[Leung]

yeah that kinda sounds like the brake pad is rubbing against the rotor.

did you make sure to clean everything and grease the sliding pin?

[92bently]

what kind of brake pads??seem cheap pads cause weird sounds

[Houston93CB7SE]

My Saturn did the same thing when I put new rotors on it. Never found out what it was (it got totalled before I got around to investigating). Exact same sort of noise though.

Check your brake backing plate, might be bent and hitting.

[90Haccord]

I'm not gonna lie, I didn't do the brakes.


Although Im sure I could, I just called my brake guy and apparently he's on his death bed, heart attack.


So i'm SOL



As for the backplate, that does sound like a good suggestion, how could I go about adjusting it? I know SHIT about brakes.

[totaldoughnut]

If the back plate is bent you can bend it back by hand.

[90Haccord]

Do I need to jack it up and take the wheel off or can I get to it by turning the wheel at an angle?

your wastegate?
