Why do car tires squeal when you turn corners in parking garages even at very low speeds?
In: 14
The floors are sealed with a material that is very grippy, much more so than concrete or asphalt. Your tires don’t roll perfect when turning, the edges slip, on most roads there’s a bit of give, pebbles or sand/dust, and these materials allow the edges of the tire to slide. On the floor seal the rubber slips and vibrates at a frequency that causes the sound you hear.
Rub a balloon and it’s squeaky, rub a balloon with a handful of sand and it’s not squeaky. Same thing.
