    Buzzing noise!

    The front right of my car sounds like it's making a buzzing noise. I've only noticed it around 45 to 50 mph, give or take a mile or two. I have no idea what it could be, it's not like a shake or anything, but more of like an electrical buzz?
    Any help would be appreciated

      The first thing I'd suspect would be a bad wheel bearing.
      The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

        That was my first thought as well, but it's not like a high pitched bad wheel bearing, it's more like you're trying to get into your friends apartment so you ring a buzzer. It does it whether or not i'm on the gas, in third or fourth, idk if it does it when the car is in neutral or the clutch is in. I don't think it's anything mechanical it's just super irritating.

          A shorted door chime could make that kind of buzzing noise.

            I'll look into it, i was driving next to a bridge and it sounded like it was buzzing at all speeds, so i think it might be a wheel bearing.
