I have a 2006 Pontiac Vibe with 44k on it. It is making a clicking noise outside of the car whenever it is moving. I can hear it especially at higher speeds. I don’t hear it when turning just going straight. I can hear it louder when I roll my window down. With 44k on the car I’m kind of surprised to be hearing a noise. Any help is appreciated. Thank you. 2006 Pontiac Vibe/Toyota Matrix Clicking noise outside the car 40k ---

Does it have plastic wheel covers? Pull them off and see if the clicking stops. If not, get the CV axles checked. Ed B. ---

Also check your tires for a stone embedded in the tread. You might even get lucky and find a nail before it becomes a flat.
