Ive had a very loud buzz inside of the vehicle for the last few days. No shake in the wheel or anything like that the car drives fine. I think its some kinda fluttering plastic panel somewere but I cant find anything loose. I googled a bit and found similar issues but never a fix. Steel wheels btw, Im gonna take the covers off and see if that fixes it tomorrow.

Update......if anyone cares.

My wife found a YouTube video with a similar noise saying it was bad wheel bearings. I changed out one front wheel bearing , the noise was reduced and when I changed the other it was completely gone.

I would have bet everything that the noise was a loose plastic panel.

Oh score, interesting that it was wheel bearings. Those usually only go when the car is frequently cornered hard with sticky tires.
