Why does my fiesta make a funny noise?

Ive got an 06 fiesta and sometimes when i go over the lane markers on the motorway the underneath of the car makes a funny noise. My friend has a 05 model which always does this and another friend also has a 06 model which has just done it for the first time. Is this a design fault or am i imaging it?

Answers:
i have an 04 plate fiesta mine does it to its just normal to hear that its a bad design but your find most small cars do whatever make a bigger car is always nicer an quiter
Speak to the main dealer, they may have a recall coming up for a known fault or may know what the problem is.
Does it only happen when you go over lane markers? It could be because the lane markers are raised off the ground a little and it sounds like corduroy when you run over them.
It`s not a design fault it`s the midgit you ran over at the last set of traffic lights before you got onto the motorway !!
its normal dont panic.
Its a ford,what do you expect.Most fords or any car for that matter developes its own noises over the course of time and are normally nothing to worry about.If this only happens when you drive over lane markers it sounds like its general road noise being picked up from the slight raise in the road markings,but if your unsure,have it checked out by an independant garage..
there called cats eyes arent they
Good lord, The reason for this is to ensure that anyone falling asleep at the wheel is awoken by the noise. The car will veer when you fall asleep. You wake up, brake sharply, panic and hopefully gain control of your vehicle. basically, it is little bumps in the white lines.
Solution - Turn up your music
Is like a ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ that'll be the Siesta
Are you sure its not the 'cats eyes,' going bumtedy bump as you go over them at 65 mph, the sound comes into the car. I drive a large estate and it happens with that, also if you go over the stripes, you get a vibrating feeling, its ok,,ok.
Perhaps your tyres went over the cats eyes, making a thumping sound?
check that you have not got a sh***y cardboard sump gaurd like most new cars have . if they come loose it will flapp like the clappers the faster you go
i had a fiesta that did that and it worried me, anyway i found out that it was uneven tyre wear but it sounded like the back end was about to drop off, when fords are new they put crap tyres on but i'd take it back to the garage n tell em ur not happy with it
