    I have a 2003 hyundai elantrs, lately when i drive my car if i go over
    2o mph it sounds like my rear wheels or rear axle is making a whirling
    sound - the faster i go the louder and faster it gets (almost like a
    jet engine). it is winter and it has been snowing a lot - is this
    something to worry about or will it go away?

  2. I'd suggest you have a tire going bad, but I've been flamed in this
    group before for daring to suggest such a thing.

    It’s hard to say. It could be your rear brakes rubbing against rust
    on the rotors. Or tire noise. Or worn hub bearings
