ABS modulator makes a grinding (brrrrrrrrr) sound. If this is noise, the ABS light will come on at some point.

good luck

No idea, and nobody else is likely toeither unless you can be a lot more specific. Takingmore care with your syntax, grammar and punctuation would also help us to understand what your problem might be. Spelling could be worse.

Sorry to give you a hard time!

sorry about the spelling and grammar, never was good at that i dont think it would be the ABS cause it doesnt happen when im breaking or when I release the break, it happens when i step on the gas. I dont really know how else to explain it. it makes that noise and u can feel your foot vibrating from it. The only think I can think of is gears rubbing against each other or something, but i dont really know much about engines and cars, so most likely I am wrong.

If it's the abs it makes a noise that I think sounds like a small air compressor that you would use for inflatable water toys. If it doesn't sound like this can you replicate the sound at will or is it just at random? Is their a lot of snow in your area?

Snow: if your area is really snowy you get a build up at the rear of the fenderwell, this snow/ice mixture rubs against the tire on occasion and makes a grinding noise randomly

it doesnt really sound like a compressor i know that sound your talking about, i cant replicate it whenever sometimes i can but mostly its at random. there is no snow at all in my area but it was raining for the past couple of days. Im not sure if that is good for the car, i dont want to keep going and make it worse and find out later that something was worn off.

Brake noise perhaps? Also, check your fluid levels and look for leaks

i dont think that it sounds like rocks in a tin can, beacuse its only for two seconds at a time and just when i start to go, somebody told me the it my be the v-tech turning on. Does that make any sense?
