    Hello All-

    Not sure if this is another wheel bearing or something different. The sound is repetative and only occurs at low speeds (or I can only hear it at low speeds with window down). Car feels fine as I drive it. Description would be like someone taking a bag of potato chips and repeatedly crinkling the bag, but only from drivers front wheel. The sound does appear to go away entirely at higher speed, but I cannot be sure because at say more than 25 mph I just may not be able to hear it.

    Wasn't sure if this one may sound more like a resonator or more bearing stuff (reason for new thread). Anyway, your thoughts are welcome. This is a 2018 Clarity with about 51000 miles.

    Dan, given the number of driver's front wheel bearing failure I think you are on the right track.
