does anyone know what a squeeking noise could be coming from in my car (it only happens after it has been sitting for a while or in the morning when i first go to start it up!) I have taken it to three different places, the first place it took it to was a repair shop and they said that they had no idea what it is and to take it to the transmission shop so i took it to the transmission shop and the guy there looked at it and he said that he slao didnt know what it was and said that it could be the muffler, so i took it to the muffler shop and they thought that it could be the air plumun (or something like that) in the engine so i took it back to the first place that looked at it and told them what the other guy told me (about the air plunum) and they said that they would look at it and see what they could do.....so all today i have been waitong to hear from them and they said that they dont know for sure that it could be the tranmission so i was just wondering if anyone knows what it is

If it just does it when you first start it up then I'd say the alternator fan belt might be loose.

Go to your car after its have been sitting a while, do not get in, walk around and try to rock the car where the struts are, if the spring is rubbing on something or the padding under the spring worn out you should hear that. The onky other reason I can think of is a vacuum pump. Good luck.

wah?! sounds like a belt squeak ,not plenumn no way that dosent even move wouldnt go back there.go to ase master technician with exp.only way it could poss. be trans is if the noise is there while you are driving{ car is moving}.if noise is there while not moving {like after you turn the key } sounds like belt or a pulley that belt rides on{such as alternator or the a/c or waterpump] could also be belt tensioner is seized.tensioner basicaly keep belt on pulleys if siezed it will make the belt too tight or loose causing belt to wear and squeak.or belt is just shot ,good luck

what kind of car do you have does it do it while your driving sitting still is the a/c on do you have coolant on the belt from a leak before you start it take some sealicone put on the ribbed part of the belt before you start it or if possiable let it sit and take the belts off and start it up and see if it does it belt or pully if it does it while your driving it could be suspension or steering depending on the car make and model

A mouse........squeaks are extremely hard to diagnose without actually test driving the vehicle and performing trace and locate procedures. The best thing to do is to bring it to a dealer where they are familiar with your particular make of vehicle (dealership). They usually have a good idea of what the issue is if they have found the same problem previously with the same model. Good luck!!

sound like you have a loose belt are a worn belt.Go to the auto store and get some belt dressing,and spray it on your belts.Then start your car,and see if the noise quit.
