    Sounds like the tyre hitting the gaurd trim?

    Could also be a loose wire hitting the fan? Hard to say unless you tell us what car she has. Might be a wire hitting the thermos.

    What car is it?

    Did the noise stop after you finished the corner or continued?

    Only does it when moving, (running gear/drive train) or stopped idling too (engine) ?

    Loud, soft?

    Any difference in engine performance / handling/ride etc ? Did the motor faulter etc?

    Coming from the rear or front of the car?


    ....Come on bro you could have been a bit more specific if you want help....

    I had a similar noise when a cable tie got caught in the heater fan - the noise was metallic as described and only happened every now and then.
