Hey everybody,
A couple of weeks ago I noticed that when i was leaving my house there was this weird noise coming from my car. When i give it more torque it's louder and when i go fast you don't hear the noise anymore. It doesn't seem like something serious, does anybody know if they had the same problem or know what it could be. I tried looking under the hood when the car was running, but you can't hear the noise then, it's only when the car is in gear, it's an auto transmission. Could it be the timing chain?

well most cases its just the electronics in the transmission, Or If you got performance issues you could have a wheel bearing wornout, Tie worn, or deflated (low tire pressure). Only signs of problems really serious would be grinding / sqeeualing / or looseness / clunking in movements. Usually automatic front wheel drive cars will have some kind of tread noise or tranny shift noises in cavaliers, Its common things. slipping tranny of course is starting to fallpart. Good Luck dude
