Specs: 3.1L over 140K miles, new tires

I have a 98 cutlass and its make a few noises and I cant figure out why, the car itself runs fine the engine is smooth….:iceslolan

The issue I am having is when I start the car in the morning it makes a sound similar to a compressor going bad. Thing is my A/C is not on and the sound get louder when u turn the wheel left or right.

There is also a winding sound in the wheels when I am on the highway you can here it best when I am going around curves.

Anyone ideas?

Tough without a road test, no? The road noise could be a bad tire or wheel bearing, the other noise? could be anything, water pump, alternator, take the belt off see if it goes away.

This noise under the hood must be engine related, no? P/s pump noisey cold, possible?

i am not sure what you mean by "P/s noisey pump....", but once the car warms up the noise seems to stop, its the loudest fist thing in the morning or after the car has been off a while...not to mention the noise it makes when u turn the A/C on....:crying:
