Humming Noise coming from under the hood. Any ideas?

I have a 2008 Ford Fusion SE 4 Cylinder with 78,000 miles on it. When I accelerate I hear a humming noise coming from the front. The higher the RPM's the louder it gets. The sound begins after 1000 RPM's. I sat it and parked it and put my foot on the gas pedal and went up to 4,000 RPMS and it sounded like a siren you would hear in the movies for like code red or something I don't know. I have no idea what it may be. Answers would be very much appropriated.

Could be anything from a vibrating heat shield to a bad bearing on an accessory. If you listen through a rubber hose and aim it all around, you should be able to locate the noise source as the hose points at it.

Sounds like a belt, but it could be other things. I'd check those first. Everything else is going to be much more expensive.

Someone has to look under the hood while you run the engine and make the sound.

Check your belts and make sure everything moves freely and that nothing is leaking any type of fluid.

  • Weird noise coming from bottom of my car? Ok so i own a 2002 Ford Mustang GT, and there has been this weird, weird rattling noise coming from beneath my car. I'm running an SLP loudmouth aftermarket exhaust and i'm wondering if thats the issue. I'm no mechanic, so i wanna know what i'm gonna be dealing with before i go see for myself. I'm 16 years old as well, I'm also running a bbk offroad x pipe and stock headers(its pretty loud), so i'm wondering if that may be part of the problem too
