I've got 2400 miles on my 06 6MT coupe. Noticing everytime rpms start to drop that there is a faint to noticeable whistle sound. While it happens sometimes while shifting, its definitely not clutch related. Anyone else experiencing this? and found out what the source of problem is? not a major deal but I'd like to know if this is something I should be bringing into dealer for a look see.
Thanks

lol yea i noticed this too, i thought i was crazy...and the sound was there before i put my intake on.

 

Same here...

Lets say im rolling in 3rd gear at a constant 3500 RPM, and I decide to engine brake my way down to 2000 RMP. There would be this whistle that almost sounds like a Mini-Jet turbine. Its not that load but its noticeable to the driver (and passenger)

 

you should bring it to dealer to check it out

 

do you have a z-tube?

 

Dude mine whistles like crazy...Oh wait....Nevermind

 

haha, nice. If only we were all SC.

Actually, I have an 03 and I just started to notice a "whistling" sound, maybe more of a high pitched tone. I do not have a modified intake, so thats not the problem.

 

Me too, but I just installed a Z-tube last night and that's when it started. Someone said in another thread that it's not the Z-tube but actually the K&N panel filter causing the whistle so I'm going to try putting the paper OEM one back in later today and see what happens.

 

i have this too... mine is coming from the ac/heater fan. when i turn it off the whistling is gone. best part is, that winter is just around the corner... which means my owl hooting sounds will be coming back. yay!

 

I only notice it when im down shifting. hmm.

 

yea its all normal, if you put a CAI on it will only get louder.

 

The sound is normal

 

Its air swishing around the edges of the throttle plate as it turns to ingest more air.

 

+1 on that

 

+2 true that
