Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: 2011 - Power Steering Whirring Noise

I own a 2011 santa fe with approx 49,500 miles. in the past few weeks i have begun hearing a "whirring" (or more like a 'zzzzzzzzzz') noise when turning the steering wheel. I've taken it in to the dealership who tells me this noise is "normal".

This was hard for me to believe since it just started occurring in the past few weeks. I checked P/S fluid before taking to dealership and all was okay. also no leaks seen on garage floor.

Why this noise all of a sudden??

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: AC Causing Rough Idle - Whirring Noise As Driving In Low Gears

My 2011 Sonata SE gets a rough idle when my AC is turned on, and sometimes it produces a whirring noise as I'm driving in low gears. It all goes completely away if I turn my AC off. I'm afraid my AC might go out at an inopportune time. What could it be?

Golf/GTI VII :: 2015 - Whirring Noise When Accelerating

I got a 2015 GTI Autobahn, DSG, 5 door. Took delivery in early June. Love the car, has been amazing so far. Coming from an MKV GTI, a nice bump in power. One issue I've had is that I hear a noise coming when accelerating. It's almost like a 'whirring' noise. Not sure if this is what the new EA888 sounds like. I didn't notice this from the old MKV. I don't think it's a turbo whistle...I'm not going very fast. The car is in D when it happens. anything faster than 60km/h (40mph), I don't hear the noise, just 'normal' engine noise.

Is this how just MKVII's sound? I bought the car without test driving it...so not sure if this is an expected sound?

Golf/GTI VI :: Whirring / Wheel Bearing Noise At 70 - 80 MPH

Have a whirring/wheel bearing metallic rubbing noise at 70-80 mph, 6th gear (manual transmission). It's hard to pinpoint the location but it's from the engine area! I heard about water pump failures but thought I'd hear that all the time not just at speed... MKVI GTI ...

Golf V R32 :: Whirring Noise When Open Driver Side Door

I heard this noise on my mkIV GTI as well. When I unlock and open the car in the AM I hear a strange "whirring" sound. It sounds like a cell phone vibrating on a hard surface. I don't think anything is broken since it has done this on two different cars. I just want to know what it is. The sound happens as soon as I open the driver-side door.

Golf V R32 :: Whirring Noise Coming From Center Vents / Console

About a week ago I noticed this weird noise that sounds like it's coming from inside of the center vents area/console.

The noise definitely only occurs when moving, or at least it seems that way. At idle there is no sound. The sound seems to get a little louder the faster I go.

It's kind of a "whirring" sound. It's not really loud and if someone that had never been in the car were driving they probably wouldn't even notice it. It almost sounds as if I have the heating/ac fan turned up high but I don't. The sound appears even if I have the heat/ac fan off.The heat/ac works fine.

It may have nothing to do with the heat/ac but I'm wondering if something could have got stuck in the vents from outside?

Golf IV R32 :: Vibration / Rattle / Clunking / Crunching And Whirring Noise

What I have happening is clunking that can be felt in the pedals and dead pedal at random time. Bad vibration can be felt through the cabin but this is hard to quantify since I already had VF mounts, I'm lowered on PSS9's, have camber plates, etc etc. It just seems to me that the vibration has gotten worse than the "normal" vibration these mods would introduce. Whirring/rotational noise that comes and goes and seems to be right in front of the the driver's seat. It also sometimes seems to go away if I am cruising down the road and I push the clutch in.

Crunching noise (almost like a CV joint which is shot) but this noise appears randomly at various speeds and when driving straight. All of this is pointing me more and more towards a tranny problem which is not what I want to hear but I also don't want to keep driving my car without knowing what is wrong with it. One note is I did install the trans shim, replaced black cap on end of trans in Feb and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary at that time

I have pulled the driver's axle 3 times in the last month and can find nothing wrong with it. I have pulled the suspension apart on the entire front end and found/see nothing. I have pulled, twisted, shaken, etc everything looking for bad or worn parts/bushings and can find nothing.

Golf/GTI VI :: Hollow Sounding Knocking / Whirring Noise From Left Side

My car has ~2500km on it now and I've noticed a whirring / knocking noise from the left side of the car Mk6 GTI. It's not loud (in fact, hardly audible at times) but it's there. It's most noticeable when I am driving slowly (~30km/h) at low rpms (1500rpm).

It's only when the car is in motion that I can hear the noise. I revved the engine in neutral and could not re-produce the noise.

I've tried adjusting the tire pressure but that didn't seem to work. It was at 38 psi and now at 40 psi. No diff in the noise level.

It sounds like a knocking (like two plastic tubes hitting each other) /whirring noise but I cannot pinpoint the source...or whether it's even under the car or the engine...but it's definitely the left side.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2000 - Grinding / Whirring Noise When Clutch Is Disengaged

2000 GTI

260,000 miles (60% highway)

2.0L 4cylinder AEG

All stock.

I have a new issue developing on the clutch of my car. When I fully press the clutch pedal to change gear, I hear cacophony of grinding, hissing and whirring noise, probably coming from gearbox. When I take my foot off of the clutch pedal completely, the noise is gone. half clutch has reduced amount of these noises. I had this symptom briefly one night two weeks ago and when I topped up oil, this was gone. Tonight, it is back.

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Fuel Pump Is Whirring Before Start

I have a 2011 Sonata GLS with ~65k miles. I have an intermittent problem with the cranking, but will not start. It sounds like the fuel pump is "whirring" before start, and this only happens once a week or so. Other times, the car starts fine. The gas tank is ~1/4 full also.

There has been another intermittent issue (not sure if it's related) - with the O2 sensor heating coil. The check engine light comes on for a day or two and goes away wit the O2 heater coil problem. However, I'm not sure a sensor coil problem would cause the car to not start when it's cranking.

Could it be the crank sensor issue? Is that issue known to be sporadic?

Touareg :: Whirring Noise After Car Turned Off

I noticed recently when I walk away from my car I hear a whirring noise as if a fan or belt were slowly winding down. It does stop eventually but I'm wondering if something was torqued or moved out of place to cause this noise, that I don't remember hearing before.

Golf VI R :: Whirring Sound When On The Highway And Not On Gas

Just had the 3 year service and dealer did the Haldex service. On my way home I noticed this whirring noise when I'm on the highway and not on the gas.

It's loud enough where I can still hear it w/ the radio on. Seems to be coming from the center of the car. I have never noticed this before. Heard this after their Haldex service?

Golf/GTI VI :: 2011 - How To Reduce Noise

I test drove a 2011 GTI today with my dad as a possible car to buy once I graduate college. The interior was very Audi-esque and overall it was very balanced and enjoyable to drive.

The one downside (and possibly the single reason I might not buy this otherwise excellent car) was the drone it makes whenever you get on the throttle. If it pushed you back in your seat I might not mind (I understand the point of the GTI is more sensible rather than rocketship fun), but it just seems like it's making a whole lot of noise and not really going anywhere.

Is there a way to reduce this noise, short of sound dampening the entire car? I really like everything else about the car, but I couldn't imagine a long highway drive or being out with a girl and everytime you want to pass or accelerate it sounds like you're taking it to 8,500 rpm.

Steering :: Whirring Noise When Slowing Down And Turning

I had this "whirring" noise when slowing down...it only happens when the car has been driven around for awhile (20mins etc). It started about a week ago and I just ignored it. To me, it seems like the noise is only apparent when slowly down BUT that might be because I hear it at low speeds where at high speeds, its drowned out by road noise. The noise seems to be coming from the front drivers side (either under the hood or front drivers side tire).

Today, it was making the noise much louder and when pulling into work...I tried to turn and it made a grinding noise. Turning the steering wheel makes a grinding noise and I can feel the grinding feedback on the steering wheel.

Do you think it's the power steering pump that is making both the whirring sound and the grinding noise?

The car is a 2000 corolla ce 4spd auto. How much would the fix be if it's power steering? (and how long would it take)

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Whirring Noise In The Belt

I've had a loud annoying whirring noise on something connected to my 2009 GLS serpentine belt. Initially, Hyundai said it was the alternator... just recently they said it's the power steering pump. Some friends say it's a bearing. Your guess is as good as mine!

If I replace both the pump and alternator on my own, I'll save more money then letting Hyundai replace one. I haven't seen that many DIY changes on the pump though. I usually don't deal with parts & fluids.
