Since it's gotten colder I've noticed several sounds from my car that I don't usually hear...
First is what sounds to be the suspension/tires. I have blizzaks on, which means i've got much bigger tread, and the tires are also 16", so that may be it,
but basically when I go over small bumps I hear a thumping/bump sound coming from the rear of my car..nothing bad, just unusual.

I also noticed today after leaving work, a faint whine coming from the engine bay. It almost sounded like my CAI was pulling in a bunch of air, but there was a faint whine (much like the sound from a procharger or whatever).

Also, when idling, I heard a clicking sound from the engine bay as well. Popped the hood and tracked it down to my belts/pulleys.

Any explanations? Things I should worry about? or just sounds..

it got down to -5 last night.
The car, truck and 90 year old house are making noises.
Just warm her up and be gentle with her.
I would make weird noises to after sitting outside with overnight temp of -5

I think you should stop storing dead hookers in your trunk when it's this cold... they freeze and you know how hard frozen meat is as it bounces around... Imagine throwing a frozen steak back into the freezer after digging it out and deciding to make chicken instead... Sounds just like this.... LOL...

I laughed so hard at this I had tears in my eyes. LOL!

Anyway OP, are you sure it's nothing loose in your trunk? I had a scraping/clunking noise once too and I later found out I hadn't set a few of the plastic trim "tabs" back into their holes after working on the car...

I get a slight whine too when I am going WOT (not always, but often). I chalked it down to a small opening/hole somewhere in my CAI/airbox (does it with both). Not enough to worry me, but if it gets louder I will try changing out the filter or go over the tubing/connections to check for a leak.

Overall I think my mustang hates the winter as much as I do.

Yep I've started to notice small noises here and that now that it's gotten colder

Could be this too...

Cold weather brings up lots of noises we normally don't hear during the warm season. I would just keep an ear out to make sure it's nothing awkward or the noises getting worse. Old man winter spares no one.

I stopped paying attention to noises when I got rid of the 2010. Unless the car is driving weird or its a seriously bad noise, just ignore it.
