It looks like that sound was not coming form under the hood but from it sounds like from the tires.....I had a friend tell me that it could be one of a few things 1, brake sensor 2, bad wheel bearing 3, somthing in the driveshaft. Anyone have aby input on this issue. Thanks (If you guys did no read the other form the problem I am having is a clicking sound that seems to follow the speed of the tires meaning when I drive faster the sound speeds up and when I drive slower the sound slows down, and this is for a 1997 Towncar with 64,000 miles on it) Thanks for your help guys.

Its not a U-Joint
Sounds like a differential, or a gear broke? but i dont know
If you could describe it better that would help out alot

some cars have warning noises when the brake pads are getting low and need changing, could this be a possibility. I had a Buick once that had a squeek, that only sounded when the car was moving, and the faster I went the more rapid the noise was. That did turn out to be the U-joint, change it and the noise went away.
