When I'm driving my car if I go past 3 grand this wierd whining noise starts coming from the front of the car. The pitch of the noise gets higher with the RPM's it almost sounds like the noise that speakers make if you hook them up wrong but it's not the radio. It just started Monday any info please help.

 

Stock intake or what, maybe check all the hoses make sure there isn't a leak.

I would have thought radio but you said that's not it, so whateva.

 

I have a short ram intake. I thought it was the radio at first but I soon realized the more I hammered it that the noise was coming from the engine bay or somewhere up front

 

Could it be a pulley or pulley bearings or something b/c I have no leaks or loose hoses that I can find. I had it started while I was under the hood, when I gave it gas it sounded like the noise was coming from the pulley side but I'm not for sure.

btw: the car has 70,000 miles on it could it be the timing belt fixing to go bad?

What's the deal? I sure thought I would get a better response from the accord gods

 

Did you do your 60k checkup/tune-up?

Your timing belt should be good till 90k I believe, I'm not 100% certain if that change that at 60k as well, but I doubt that's it.

 

No I change the oil religiously every 3000 and just recently changed the plugs and wires what else should I do?

 

It could be your alternator, thats why you might be hearing it from the pully side. But I could also be wrong.

 

I thought it might be the alternator also I just wasn't fo sho.

 

It could be the alternator. It could also be the p/s pump, a/c pulley bearing, water pump, t-belt tensioner or b-belt tensioner. Try using a long screwdriver to listen to them.

 

Fill me in on the long screwdriver bit I don't quite understand?

 

Put the end of the screwdriver where you want to listen and hold the handle against your ear. Noises like you described are easy to find this way.

 

Right on I found that it don't start making the noise until the engine gets hot.
