Noise while driving in snow

So we got about 10-15" of snow and my car sucks already got stuck 4 times
But that's not the problem .... I'm getting a noise like if I have bad balljoints,links or maybe is just the snow if anyone could be of some help and tell if they ever had the same thing going on ... Thanks

It's a car, not a tractor.. bro lol It's probably the snow crunching underneath your tires.

Traction control, stability control, or ABS. Do you turn the TCS off when driving in snow?

Electronics get you stuck in slippery conditions. I disable ABS and turn TCS off.

So now I notice it even on clean roads when I go over bumps I recently had my wheel bearings done the same time I change brake pad and rotor. Is it possible that the knuckle assembly isn't tightened right .... Idk just wondering

I pull the fuse. I've only done it a couple times for testing when I was trying to see if I could beat the ECU by measuring stopping distances on dry pavement.

Chances are there is still snow pushed up under the car. If it has been cold, what's there wouldnt melt.
