Today is the first time i've started my explorer in about two weeks. Recently there was a little bit of humming and vibration at about 1800-2400 rpm. It would quiet down when it got warm after driving.
Now, I start it up, humming noise is a lot louder (like the synchro's in a manual transmission when they're worn), but my truck is an automatic. Its loud enough, I could hear it inside my house while parked outside the window. I noticed it because it doesn't sound the way it used to, which was just stock exhaust noise while idling.
What could this be? This does get louder and change in pitch the faster the rpms are from idle speed. I'm worried it might be transmission input shaft bearing (If the A4LD has one, i'm not sure, don't know transmissions too well), but could some engine bearings make that noise too? Vibration and Humming?
