Hey guys-

I've tried like heck searching for 4th gear whine on S2KI, but it always returns me results for rear differential noise with 4.xx gears

In 4th gear I have an audible whine that gets higher and lower pitched with speed, on or off the gas (though louder when on the gas just cruising and at a lower RPM...3k or so). I assume the noise is still there in higher RPM's and when I floor it in fourth, it's just that there is so much other noise and it becomes high pitched to the point I can't hear it. I know it must not be the rear dif, as driving the same speed in 3rd or 5th results in no noise.

To be honest, I'm not terribly concerned over it as it really isn't that loud...but I do want to make sure I'm not the only one that experiences this. It sounds similar to the gearbox whine that my Mazdaspeed3 can make.

Thoughts?

Well guy i have a 02 Ap1 and i hear a whine noise only when im taking off or throttling from low rpm i am too unsure about this noise. I get it through first, second and third gear.
