so whenever i rev the engine on my 8th gen i4 accord is sounds almost like i have a turbo in the car with a high pitch whistle that i can hear whenever i don't have the clutch engaged,

i don't think theirs any problem as its done this since the day i picked up the car, just annoying.


i have a Fujita RAI that helped for when I'm actually driving the car but when I'm stopped or downshifting the whirl noise comes back...

does anyone know if there is a way to stop the high pitched whistling?

Thank you

 

maybe a trip to honda to see whats going on. their is so much that can be going on.
a noise is hard to diag over the web as to been in person.

 

Did you installed teh SRI? If yes, was teh noise there before you installed it? If no, then check your work. Maybe a more detailed description of what it is can better help us help you. Where teh noise is coming from etc, etc...

 

Check your airbox and make sure its tight

 

so i went to my dads shop today and talked to one of the techs there, he said that it was the alternator that's making the noise. not to sure if theirs anything to do to stop it, ill keep you guys posted if i figure something out if your interested...

 

its normal for that motor. mine makes it and so does my girls.. i actually like it... but ya ours both did it the day we picked them up

 

Same Here

 

As a matter of fact I notice that this sand rustling like sound comes from under my glove box when my rpm hits anywhere from 5 to 7.....kinda weird, anyone else notice that?

 

Nope

 

I have an 09' Civic EX same noise only 2500 miles on it, must be normal .....

 

Motor's with timing chains produce a "whine" type noise that most people aren't used to hearing. And its completely normal.

However, like dtapia said, noises are difficult to diagnosis without actually hearing them.

 

the noise you might be hearing could be the coolant flowing though the heater core. i believe there a s/b on it some where. i no the fit have one where you gotta blead out the coolant system using the yellow or red radiator funnel

 

I would have to disagree with you on the first part. Hondas timing chains use nylon guids which make then extremly quiet. They are almost as quiet as belt driven. Quiet enough for a person to not be able to hear it.

Now from my point I have had a accords come in with a whinning noise and it has been the p/s pump honda now has a TSB out on it but I don't have the TSB number on hand
