There is a low buzz sound when I have my foot on the gas pedal. It doesn’t seem to effect acceleration or anything. At first I thought it was a wheel bearing but the noise disappears when I remove my foot from the pedal. Any ideas as to what this may be??? The Sebring has 65K miles on it. Any ideas would be appreciated.

The noise might caused from a loose exhaust heat shield.

I’ll take a look and let you know if that was it. Thanks

Could be a hole in the exhaust system or a cracked exhaust manifold.

The noise turned out to be a bad front wheel bearing! I checked under the car and found a loose heat shield and a loose fuel line clap. I did check the whole exhaust too. Thanks for the help, appreciated
