You may be surprÂ­ised to discover that a carbon monoxide (CO) detector really isn't a complicated piece of equipment. Housed inside a plastic chamber approximately 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) in diameter are parts that work in unison to alert a househoÂ­ld when lethal gas is detected.
This type of noise is usually caused by malfunctioning valve lifters or an exhaust manifold leak. If the noise lasts for more than a minute and completely disappears or dimishes after the engine is warm, the most likely cause is an exhaust manifold leak.
Fortunately, brake noise is not caused by a virus. It is caused by a combination of factors that sometimes add up to create noise. Brake squeal is really a high frequency vibration. In disc brakes, it can be caused by vibrations between the pads and rotors, the pads and calipers, or the calipers and their mounts.In the photo above, the noise produced by a brake rotor in a test lab has been captured electronically and converted into a color graphic.HAKY PADS CAN CAUSE DISC BRAKE NOISE. One way to quiet noisy pads is to make sure the pads fit tightly in the calipers. If the pads on a single piston caliper have mounting ears or tabs that need to be bent or hammered to hold the pad in position, make sure the pad can't be wiggled by hand.
