Hi I am trying to get information about a noise coming from front end of driver side.. I hear it as a kind of shuffling sound but the mechanic who test drove it describes it as a chirping sound.
When the car is in gear accelerating the noise is constant, if in neutral the noise stops. It doesn't particularly seem less or more loud as I hit higher speeds, but the sound may get a little faster sounding as I'm starting to hit 65.. the sound is most noticeable around 3000 rpm..
2010 mustang gt manual..
The mechanic said it could be the alternator though he doesn't believe the alternator is bad.. he couldn't give me a for sure answer. I do notice it is difficult to get into gear sometimes, particularly 1st, 2ND, and reverse.. I'm hoping it is not the clutch but that has been what I'm leaning towards. The car just hit 100k.. any help appreciated. Thanks

 

I had this problem in my last 2010 GT (not the one I have now). It ended being the air bag assembly. Thank goodness it had extended warranty because it cost a fortune to fix.

 

Wow, I hope its not the airbag lol...
The noise kinda sounds like it is more coming from the front end of car near engine..
The noise you had was only while accelerating?? Because even if car is still moving (coasting) but in neutral ..I dont hear the noise..Or if im in neutral and rev the engine I can hear it
