Lately I've been noticing that upon a cold-start, the car will groan at speeds less than 15mph. Once I reach that speed, the noise goes away. Also, it will completely go away after about 30 seconds or so. It sounds like it's coming from the front of the car.

Any ideas?

 

Maybe one of the timing belt pulleys are going bad. I would find the noise ASAP.

 

But the noise is vehicle speed dependent, not engine speed. Also, it sounds like it's coming from the drivetrain. Not sure tho. Any ideas on how to locate?

 

Check the front end and make sure things are not out of shape.
