I have a 1985 Transam. For a while now, i notice what i can onky describe as a "swoosh swoosh swoosh" sound from the front of the vehicle. The swoosh sound speeds up as i accelerate and slows as i slow. Almost like a baseball card on a bicycle wheels in how it behaves. Applying brakes doesnt stop or start thr noise. It is definately based on wheel rotation.

i changed the front pads....seemed to reduce the noise for a while.but didnt resolve it. Any suggestions on what to look at?

 

Tire issue perhaps?

thinking tires. Try running the tire at low pressure then at high and see if the noise changes

 

Thanks for tips guys. It actually ended up being my speedo cable oddly enough.....made perfect sense after i realized it but threw me for quite the loop.

 

Glad you found it...
