Hey everyone,

I have a 2015 Nissan Rogue and the other day I started to notice this rather loud noise from what appears to coming from the front end of the car. It does not occur when the car is idling, only when the car is in motion, it does not get worse when the car is turning, accelerating, or decelerating. It sounds like metal is scraping against something. I have attached an audio file is the hopes that someone can help me figure out what this sound is! It almost sounds like a low pitched locomotive train.

It has a "hollowness" that makes me think of a dust shield on the brakes. It could be another shield on a rotating shaft also.

Could it be part of the heat shield breaking off and rubbing against something?

Make sure there is nothing rubbing against your accessory belt.

There was a burning smell coming from our car, and when I looked around . . . our plug for the engine heater had found it's way to the accessory belt and was rubbing against it. I used some plastic zip ties to hold the cable away from the accessory belt.

Take care!
The Rogue!
