i hear some "whirl/turbo spool/supercharge/plane/whiney" sound when i accelerate,

i dunno if its been like that for a long time but i JUST realized it today its like

eeeeernnnnn like a lil whine/spool or w/e sound when i accel?

help please i have no idea if its good or bad, for a second i thought it was my intake area but i doubt it

w/e shed some light on me please

 

if your timing belt is EXTREMELY tight it will make that noise, my buddies crx did
have you checked that?

 

not yet, but i just recently noticed it so... i dunno how can it just get tight all of a
sudden lol

oh when i decel it ssounds like a plane trying to land so lol... i was like hmmmm sounds pretty cool but at the same time sounds really bad

what kinda place would give it a check?

 

if you just recently noticed it it probably isnt that...hmm anyone got inout on this??

i can only think of things that would whine not make a turbo spool sound

 

yes help please if it helps, i got oil and tranny fluid changed today

but i doubt that sound has anything to do with that

i also notice when i turn my car on i get a MAINTENANCE REQUIRED flash a few times,
does that always happen something i also JUST noticed recently. it stops after a few seconds and only happens when i turn it on

Maintenace required comes on like an alarm clock to remind you to not be a douche and pay attention to your car. The shut off button is located infront of your right knee when sitting in your car. You have to hold it in when you start the car until the light goes out.

Does the sound only increase with speed? Sounds to me like it may be a throw out bearing.

If it only increases with speed, I would check your wheel bearings.

 

yes if there is a growling sound comin from the front that gets louder with speed. could be a wheel bearing

 

If it gets louder as the car accelerates then I would look at wheel bearings possibly.

If it gets louder as the engine revs go up, then it would be engine related.

 

i'll look thru both

because it whines up as the car accerates thus = whines up as the car revs up also, if its something in the engine what else could it be

yes, but what I meant was if it were a wheel bearing the sound consistently gets louder the faster you go. Where as say it where the timing belt, even though your car was accelerating the engine's speed would change due to shifting gears; thus the whine would also change.

These are two different things. You engine does not continue to rev up at the same rate as you go faster.

Easiest way to tell is to get close to redline in first. If you don't hear it, it's probably speed related. You can also speed up and throw in the clutch. If the sound goes away then it's motor/tranny related.

 

mine makes like a "sqeeeeeak" noise when i accel, but thats just my type-r throttle body opening, i think. iono, just some side information, might help narrow it down.

 

all of that sound seems to have disappeare today as i drove to campus this morning (25min drive)

i'll see if it happens again as i leave.

 

i have a weird sound when I give my teg throttle too... sounds like something's loose or something... but i dunno

 

yea this is getting wierd now

i think i narrowed it down to the sound being more towards 3k+ rpm and i can keep hearing it from then on...

 

help please

 

Alt. possibly on the way out.

Take it to a mechanic if you can't figure it out.
