Default Really need help

Guys im sorry to keep posting new questions however, I have another noise, now either in the middle or front end of truck. I'm sure its not the engine. However i hear a noise that sounds like someone is holding a straw in a fan. Thats the best way that i can describe it, the noise is only there while moving... I have no idea what it could be, I still have about 1k miles under power train warranty. If anyone has experienced this problem or has any info it is greatly appreciated.

Also it doesn't do it all the time, but is quite frequent and lasts maybe 10-15 seconds at a time. sometimes less.

Have you checked and made sure all hoses, belts, wiring etc. is tight and not loose anywhere? It could be just about anything.

Yep, nothing is loose could it be ball joints or wheel bearings? control arm bushings? I dunno what kinds of things make these noises. Nor how to check most of them.

Lol, i wish that were the case.. Would be alot easier to get rid of the midget, rather than figure out what the problem is

And for the straw in the fan thing, thats the best way i could describe the noise other than something caught in the spokes of a mountain bike.
Just wish i could figure out what the problem is, Its driving me nuts.

Maybe your a/c clutch? They usually kick on for 10-15 sec.
