Cabin Noise by rooney6

Since I've had my Sonata 2006 I've noticed the cabin noise is becoming very annoying. When I'm driving on the hwy or on the street the outside noise coming in is loud. I like to drive in a quiet car. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to cut down the noise?

ABS Brakes by rooney6

I'm figuring that the ABS brakes are on when I hear grinding noise upon applying the brakes. When this ocurrs I immediately release the brakes thinking that something is going to fall out the bottom and I start pumping the brakes to keep from hitting the car in front of me. Would it be okay to press the pedel to the floor until I come to a complete stop? I also feel the shaking, pulling underneath my foot. Is this normal?

With ABS, just keep your foot on the brakes. They do the pumping for you. Some noise and vibration in the pedal are normal with ABS.

Lets clarify something here, you should not have any noise coming from your ABS system unless you are braking very hard. The ABS does not activate unless it senses an imminent loss of braking friction. You should also not be able to put "the pedal to the floor" with normally functioning brakes. The grinding noise may very well be the warning that your brake pads are worn out.
 
Get to a brake shop ASAP, especially if you can put "the pedal (all the way) to the floor".

Many ABS systems make a sound when activated that could be interpreted as "grinding". Some are louder than others. It can be quite a surprise to someone who has never experienced it before--which I assume rooney6 hasn't, until recently.

I may very well be on the wrong track here, but I'm concerned that the OP didn't say something like "occasionally or once in a while" when describing the problem. "Upon applying the brakes" means something else like "frequently or usually" to me.
 
Its wintertime and you're in Minnesota, how often do you trigger the ABS?
