just started happening one day... it kinda sounds like if u get on ur car when its still cold...llike a whining kinda noise... anyone know what it could be?

 

Could you be more specific? "Getting on your car when it's still cold" Hmm....that doesn't sound different to me.

High pitched? Low pitched? Dependent on wheel speed? Dependent on engine speed? Does it all the time?

 

..high pitched.. (its hard to describe a noise)... kinda like a hissing noise of some sort.. depending on the engine rpm.. usually around 4-5, car def. feels more sluggish..

 

could be brake pads wayyy past gone?

 

no its def. def. the motor... i can def. feel a power loss as well

 

exhuast leak?
Ground loop in your stereo system?
Intake Leak?
Bearing gone bad?

it might be that, cuz when i installed my amp's, it made that noise, but it was through the speakers.. kinda hard to notice where it was actually comming from, but i found out it was the speakers.

what about altanator? i know thats a shot in the dark, but i think i remember hearing someone talk about this in past thread's

 

i got the same problem, but mine happen around 3k rpm sound like metal clangin

 

It's probably an exhaust leak. Mine would make a real whiney noise (more noticeable while cold) up thru the RPM range. Found the leak and welded it shut. No more clangy whiney noise

 

na not the stereo, im positive about that... damn i hope its not a bearing... that would suck...it really sounds like if u beat on ur car when its cold... or is it just my car that sounds diff. cold?

how do u fix the ground loop problem?

 

Does the noise occur if you just rev? I'm thinking engine accessery.

engine accessery as in ....?

 

happened to mines after installing new deck, i think its bad ground, or my speaker wires n power wire are running too close to together..which they're not,..

 

when exactly does it happen? during/right after a shift? does the whining change pitch?

PS pump, AC compressor, water pump, alternator

You said that there was a power loss associated with this noise. One of those components may have a worn bearing. Does the engine still rev freely?

 

check your exhaust system sounds like you got an exhaust leak

 

intake leak? my friend forgot to clamp down his intake after installation = ultra whiny

 

happens everytime i drive, not any certain time either, changes a little , a little louder at 3k..thot it was my bad ground but i tightened it

 

check your plugs...
