What should I do if my car is making a strange noise

Sure thing! Here are nine different responses you could use:

"First, try to figure out where the noise is coming from. Is it the engine, brakes, or something else? Then maybe check the oil or coolant levels!"

"If it's a weird sound, don’t ignore it! Pull over when it’s safe and see if you can spot anything unusual under the hood."

"You might want to take it to a mechanic. They can give it a good check-up and figure out what’s going on."

"Sometimes, it could just be something minor like a loose belt or a rock stuck in the brakes. But better safe than sorry—get it checked!"

"Turn up the radio and hope it goes away? Just kidding! Seriously though, don’t wait too long to have it looked at."

"Check your owner's manual; it might have some tips on what those noises mean. If you’re still unsure, a mechanic is your best bet."

"If the noise is loud or changes when you accelerate, that’s a red flag. You should definitely get it checked out ASAP!"

"You could try to record the noise and show it to a mechanic. Sometimes, hearing it helps them diagnose the problem faster."
