Lately, I've been noticing a weird noise when I come to a complete stop and just as the car begins to roll back slowly (may it be a slope or hill) I hear this weird noise coming from the passenger rear area. The noise sounds like a whale in the ocean, underwater. I apologize, I can't explain the noise. What do you think it is (shocks, struts, brakes....)?

 

my guess would be a slightly sticking rear brake pad....

 

haha, i love you're description!!! but you're right, mine makes that same noise, but just before the car stops moving. and yeah, it does sound like a bloody whale!!!

 

sounds like you sir need new brakes or put some of that breke pad paste thing that quiets the brake noise

 

I think it may be due to a misalignment on the rear because I hit the sidewalk pretty hard a couple of weeks ago.

 

Check your wheel bearings while your at it.
