5 Car Noises You Shouldn’t Ignore

May 10, 2026

You’ve probably heard a strange noise coming from your car, but you didn’t think much of it. Or maybe you were too embarrassed to ask for help because you weren’t sure how to explain the sound. While most car sounds are standard, there are a few that shouldn’t be ignored. You might be able to troubleshoot the problem independently. Still, it’s always best to consult an expert if you notice these five noises.

It could be a loose suspension. Your suspension system includes everything from your shocks and springs to your control arms and ties rods. When any of these components are loose or damaged, you’ll hear the telltale clunk when the car goes over bumps or potholes, especially if the damage has been happening.

Don’t risk your safety. Bring your car to Scruggs Automotive for a thorough inspection today!
