I only went for a few days with the noise at most. Also I wasn't the one who put my wheels back on so I didn't even know they were loose. I guess I learned to double check other peoples work

That's where I am now. It's especially bad on hills. It's gotta be bad (besides the noise) because it will keep doing it for a couple seconds (getting quieter and quieter) even after I hit the clutch.
