Trying to describe a car noise by Route 2003-03-07 08:13:36
I'm trying to tell my mom what my car sounds like, but it's kind of difficult to convey over e-mail.

"It gets faster when the car speeds up, slower when the car slows down, doesn't seem to be affected by braking, and goes away completely when I'm turning...

wra wra wra wra wra wra wra wra wra wra wrawrawra..."

Does anyone know of some kind of online encyclopedia of car noises? :)

I *just* got it back after a repair that took over two months... *sob*...
