Ticking sound while driving

[m32]

Is anyone else experiencing this? When driving, I hear a faint ticking sound that can only be really heard when a car is driving next to me or driving next to a median. It gets more and more frequent when I accelerate and it almost sounds like little pebbles stuck in my tires. Do I have the dreaded wheel bearing issue?

Definitely sounds like the wheel bearing issue. I had it fixed 3000 miles ago and so far so good.

Thanks that's what I thought too but wasn't for sure as I only really hear it going straight. Can you share what fix the dealership did?

Define ticking? I just bought a 2015 and when turning left or right in a parking lot there is a ticking noise that I thought was related to the noisy hubs and there was no solution?

sounds like either a rock is stuck in my tire or more accurately, when you spin a wheel to win something in a carnival. Oddly enough, I only hear this when I am driving straight.

In your case, it does sound like it's your hubs and after reading the long thread here, there isn't a permanent fix (yet)

There is a recall on the front axles. Mine got really loud and my tech knew right away.
