Tried a serach found nothing, so dont flame plz, also dont flame about the dumb question

Anyway this stated about a week ago, i never really thought anything of it, untill my friend pointed it out. He says it sounds like a tire being deflated, but i dont think so.

Heres the problem. Whenever the car is on(EG w/ b18c1) i get this sort of strange whistle. When driving at 40mph i can hear it really good, then the second i press in the clutch the noise dies down to the point where I can't hear it at idle. My friend says CAI, but hes an idiot, its coming from in front on the driver. My guess is that it is the belt, but im not really sure, my knowledge is rather limited . Any input?

Thanks

 

It's your CAI.

 

Yup. I have that same issue. It's the cai.

 

you think. I must have never noticed it before. I changed my exhaust about 2 weeks ago, its not as loud, so i guess i can hear it now. Thanks. Guess my friend isnt such an idiot, lol

Me too. You can adjust the screw on your TB, this may help it go away if you dont like the sound.

 

i dont mind it, i just thought something was starting to break.

 

Huh? more info ----

CAI's whine ---- but hey sure as hell dont whistle or moan --- I have a whistle/monaing sound that sounds like the tires ---- I get it at 40mph also --- are these issues the same?

 

air resonance through the piping. Replae the piping with the factory rubber upper pipe and I'll bet it goes away.

 

replace it with the factory plastic piping --- yeah that'll work -- what the hell are you thinking --- how would you make an AEM long cold air intake (w/ valve) attach to that OEM plastic hunk o ****

 

go and apologise to your friend now!

 

i don't think he meant attach your cold air you your OEM intake . i think he's talking about replacing the metal pipe with the stock rubber/plastic "hunk o ****", as you put it.

 

after experimentin today --- there is no way that sound is the CAI --- I am convinced it is my rear camber effecting my tires and I am getting whistling sounds at certain speeds (15,40 and about 80mph) ---- also, pressing my clutch does not effect the tone of the sound ---- maybe my sound and yours are not the same BUT mine is definately not CAI.

 

On your TB facing the passanger side there is a Flat Head screw. You can adjust this screw to compensate for you r idle, or make the whistling sould go away.

 

I think I am going to try adjusting the screw. The whistling sound is just getting too annoying for me. Thankx for the help

 

it's the intake

 

Is it just me or does this whistling sound seem to happen to alot of people with an AEM CAI?hmm.

 

Would this screw be in the same place for a 97 civic coupe?If not, where is it?Thanks.

n/m. I think I found it. It is facing upwards and looks like a flathead screw, but it has some little dip in the center. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thankx.

The screw should be in the same place on that TB also.

 

Well, it worked for me So happy
