So I started noticing this about two weeks ago when I was driving in slow moving traffic downtown. It is very noticeable when doing 40kmh or below but it has gotten worse and I can hear it at 60-70kmh.

The noise goes away if I accelerate or brake, or turning, it comes back when I take my feet off the accelerator.

Here's a clip of the noise. It starts off when I'm doing 60. Towards the end I slow the car down to 30 and slowly come to a stop... you can hear some squeezing noise.

Anyone had this issue and got it fixed?

What is it and how much did it cost you?

Thanks folks!

Good stuff... yes the lug nuts were loose. I tightened them and went for a test drive, the noise is gone. Good thing I didn't lose a wheel.

Yikes. Good that you caught it, could have been ended badly.
