Was it a rattle or tick of which the frequency increases with speed ? Disappears above 50-60 kmh? Coming from somewhere at the level of the steering wheel, close to speakers?

 

[bol]

yes

 

[NLMGSAN]

yes

Not sure, but i think that when lifted they put force on the side of the tyre while turning it.
But mine was the same and after replacing it the rattle was gone.

What did you replace?

Wheel bearing left front

Hey guys, not sure if you have already seen this thread, but it might help you. Is the noise similar to the one in the first post? I've listened to both of this thread's and that thread's videos and the noises seem close enough, bot not sure.
There are also some fixes proposal: MG4 Central vibration/rattle

Service replaced the wheel bearing. 3 days later and it clicks again. Great... and the car booms just as erratically between 55-57km/h.

So the noise was gone at first?

I am not sure about that. After 3 days I noticed that it clicks, only much quieter.

Hello, my car is an MG4 Luxury with 21,000 km on it. At 20,000 km, a ticking noise started coming from behind the steering wheel. The noise appears at around 15 km/h and becomes inaudible at 60 km/h. It is definitely not a trim noise; it's a mechanical sound, but I haven't been able to figure out the cause. I took the car to the service center, and they also said it wasn't normal. They removed the lower part of the steering column to inspect it but didn't find anything. Abviously they didn't seem very interested. It's really an annoying sound. Does anyone know what might be causing it?

Edit: Ac is off, i tried regenerative 1,2,3 and one pedal mode and noise is still there. Also glass holder is empty and i insulated passsenger side ventilation under the globebox and front speaker cap under the windshield. I think it's not trim noise. Also I noticed that the sound disappears when I turn the steering wheel 45 degrees to the left or right at speeds of 15-20 km/h

Here is the video I took this morning.

Did you ever find out the reason for the ticking?

I am not sure about that. After 3 days I noticed that it clicks, only much quieter.

Solved?
If not, is the clicking frequency increasing with increasing speed? If you disable the A/C system (a/c off, no ventilation), do you still hear it?

Wheel bearing is the problem. I have a bad new one. MG really can't do this part. Now the rear one seems to be bad too. And it's humming. The car has barely 12,000km on it.

Left front wheel bearing, like everyone else

Lucky me. They fixed it on mine.

However, you say it is humming. From the rear. How do you know it is the wheel bearing as well?
Reason for asking: a lot of electric cars have these humming sounds as they are more pronounced with a silent motor. My 18 inch all seasons hummmm....as well.

Even after a wheel change, the hum that starts at 55 km/h and then stops. It gets stronger again at 72 km/h. It gets stronger in right bends and fades out in left bends. Could be differential. I'll get it fixed again when I have time.

Tell us how you did it.
