Weird engine whine/whirring noise
Hi all-
Has anyone ever heard this noise (video attached) of an engine whine/whirring noise coming from behind the radio/center dash area? I have had an indie shop take a look and they were not able to detect what the sound was, and now I just came from the dealer, and they weren't able to pin point it as well. Radio was disconnected to see if related to some kind of interference but no luck. It seems to be related to acceleration and kicks in at higher revs, and seems to be much louder when the engine isnt warm. Hoping someone has dealt with something similar to give me a starting point. thanks |

It SOUNDS like an automatic transmission issue, but I also have a gentle whining sound coming from my car, which is a manual.

I had the same issue, where it would whine/whir like that only under acceleration or heavy load. It turned out to be a pulley for me. Replaced the alternator and belt at the same time. No more whine though after that.

I have a whirl sound when it's cold out below 60° when I take my foot off the gas and its coasting 2-3k rpm. I think more when going downhill. Goes away if I give it gas. Very faint sound.
But doesn't sound like that. I heard it in both my 07/08 both manual. Last edited by profenx; 06-07-2016 at 01:11 AM.. Reason: Spelling :) |
