Hi there.. so I just bought a 2005 Honda Accord EX V6 with 107k yesterday and later last night as I was driving around I started hearing almost a scraping sound first when I made a right turn, and then again when I was just driving straight. The heat was on... moon roof closed. It sounds like it's coming from the front end. It happened maybe ten times total driving around for maybe a half hour. The more I heard it I thought it started to sound more like a whooshing noise, as if air was coming through a certain spot. I really know NOTHING about cars so I was hoping someone could give me an idea what this might be. To add the timing belt was just replaced, as well as the driving belt.

 

Is it a metallic scrapping sound? If so, you might want to get the brake pads checked.

 

At first I thought it was more of a scraping sound but now it's more of a whoosh. Nothing when I hit the breaks though... could it still be the break pads? I can't exactly pin point a certain time when the noise occurs.

 

If the inner brake pad is worn (disc brakes have an outer and inner pad on each side), there is a wear indicator that will make sound even when you are not braking.

 

Ok so last night I noticed when I had the moon roof cover closed I heard the sound again...definitely more of a "whoosh" wind sound than scraping. When I opened the cover I didn't hear anything at all. Again... not the glass part of the moon roof but the cover inside the vehicle. I looked on top and the glass seems to be flush to the car...I don't know how wind is getting in. Is this normal?? I feel as if this is more likely to be the issue than the brakes. I'm puzzled!
