Buick - LeSabre :: 1999 - Howling / Whining Noise

I hear a noise that sounds like a bad wheel bearing when I hit 68 mph, and it gets worse when I go faster. I've had both bearings replaced, but still hear the noise. It is directly related to speed...the faster I go beyond 68 mph the worse it gets.

Golf/GTI VI :: Faint Whining Noise In 2nd Gear Below 2K RPM

I've had my car for less than a week and have noticed something, I want to check with you all here to see if it is common or not.

When in 2nd gear with my foot off the gas between 1-2K RPM, I hear a faint whining sound that gets lower in pitch as the RPMs drop. An example of when this would happen is if I were coming up to a stop sign in a residential area in 2nd gear, coasting to the stop sign. The sound starts a little under 2K RPM.

I don't remember hearing this in 3rd gear and I haven't tried in 1st.

Golf/GTI VI :: 2010 - Second Gear Has Loud Whining Noise

I have a new GTI which is awesome, but second gear has a very loud whining noise. Very easy to reproduce: in second gear rev it up to 3000 rpm and let go of the gas. This happens only in second gear. Under a moderate acceleration or while engine braking. Should I be worried, should i have it checked? Is this normal? It is a 6 speed manual gear box.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2005 - Whining Noise While Only In Gear

While I rev my engine in neutral sitting parked somewhere I don't hear any strange noise. but after i put the car into gear and start accelerating i hear a strange whining noise.

I was recommended to check transmission fluid levels but then i also heard not to completely flush the fluid. because draining it could mess up the internals??

If it turns out the fluid is low can i just top it off? Any reason this could happen? 1.8t manual 2005 168k....

Golf IV R32 :: Choppy Whining Noise While Decelerating In 1st Gear To A Stop?

Quick description: every part of any acceleration in any gear is completely normal. My only problem is when I decelerate downhill in 1st gear to a stop I get a whining sound up front that is choppy and sounds like it is coming from the center of the car, like transmission, ???

I am at 85k and replaced my transmission oil and rear diff. w. Amsoil 75w90 at 60k miles.

Some of the old posts question why I would be engine braking in 1st gear. It is because I have to "coast" out of a 6 floor parking garage. I never noticed the trouble at all because I am usually coasting in 2nd gear or neutral, but someone in front of me was extremely slow so I stopped and went to 1st gear then heard the noise. Like I mentioned, it only happens downhill (not under load).

Sound = "rum rum rum rum..." decreasing with speed as the car comes to a stop.

It's not a CV or wheel bearing because it only does it in 1st..

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Whining Noise While In Second Gear If Slowly Accelerate

You ever hear hondas reverse? Its that kind of noise. Not extremely loud, but not dead quiet. I'll be in second, bring it to about 3k rpm, and let off the gas, and let it whined down in second. It makes the whining noise. then if I slowly accelerate in second, above 2.5k rpm, it will make the whine again. I don't think it does it under hard acceleration. The car has been running fine. idk what it would be, hopefully not a transmission problem, though I've read some 370z's do this too, the syncros trying to catch up? needs a trani flush? my transmission going? Not sure.

Bmw - 325 :: Whining Or Slight Howling Sound At 60 Mph When Touch Accelerator To Apply Power

I have had 2 cars with exactly the same problem. The first was a 1998 Volovo V70XC. And the second is my current 2003 BMW 325Xi - both AWD. When driving say on a freeway at 60 mph and you touch the accelerator to apply power, you get a whining or slight howling sound. As soon as you lift, the sound disappears, but each time you touch the pedal, the sound reappears. It seems to be coming from the driveline toward the mid to rear of the car. As you accelerate to 65-70 or decelerate to 55-50, the phenomenon disappears. What is causing this and how can it be fixed?

Santa FE SM (2001-06) :: 2004 3.5L - Howling / Whining Occur Occasionally Once Engine Is Warm

2004 3.5L Santa Fe ... My vehicle has about 156k and has a new problem. Occasionally, there is a howling / whining that seems to occur occasionally once the engine is warm. When this happens, the directional can light but will not blink. Same for the hazard light.

Replaced the alternator only about 2 months ago, Checked the p/s pump and it is good and no fluid loss from the reservoir. Been a great vehicle with only a minimal of issues since new. The first time this happened, the car had been on a 15 mile run. It sat for about 20 min afterward when I returned home. After re-starting it to run another errand, the whining / howling began. This lasted about a mile and went away about 2 blocks from my house on my return.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Howling Noise At 35 Mph And Above - Stops On Heavy Acceleration And Deceleration

02J-EGT 5spd. OEM axles.

Sounds like it's coming from the front. I noticed a few months ago my inner passenger CV boot was cracked, put motor mount spacers in which should have hopefully brought that axle up to okay standards. My initial reaction is to say the howling is from that CV joint however it's very odd it only happens after 35 and when I'm not heavy accelerating or deaccelerating- only when holding the car at a constant speed.

This also came after doing the TDI 5th. I notice it a little bit after passing 35mph in 3rd but really can hear it in 4th/5th when the engine revs drop. Am I right in thinking CV boot? Or transmission internal?

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: Whining Noise In 1st Gear

I've been noticing more and more lately that while my trucks in 1st or maybe 2nd gear, say, slowly coasting around a parking lot for example, there's a whining noise coming from either the rearend or the tranny (cant tell which). It gets louder and more high pitched as I move faster then disappears as soon as the truck shifts gears..

Is this something serious like my transmission on its way out? From what I gather a lot of people seem to have a similar thing going on.. From what I can remember my truck has done this since I bought it, but lately (and maybe its just me) I seem to notice it more like maybe its getting louder..

Golf VI R :: Whining Sound As It Hits Boost In Every Gear?

I just noticed yesterday when the turbo starts to spool up I'm hearing a whining sound as it hits boost. It happens in every gear and under all load conditions, from when I'm cursing around to WOT. I've had Stage 3 installed for a little over 20,000 miles now and this is the first issue I've had. It still pulls just as hard and I'm not throwing any codes, but it is a weird sound I've never heard before.

It also doesn't matter if the car is hot or cold, the sound is still there. I'm not blowing any kind of smoke or burning any oil. What can cause something like that?

Accent LC (2000-05) :: Whining Noise In Second Gear If Accelerating At A Normal Pace

I have a 2005 accent with a 5 speed, it has about 80,000km on it.... mainly city driving. Lately, once the car is up to temp. as I pull away from a stop the car makes a loud noise and I really need to feather the clutch out. The noise continues after shifting into second gear ,but no other gears. Thus happens under normal acceleration. If I pull away extremely slow the noise isn't there. If I don't feather the clutch the car lurches like I'm just 'dumping' the clutch and driving like someone who is just learning to drive. Sometimes there is also a whining noise in second gear if I am accelerating at a normal pace. Where I should start looking? I am assuming it's the clutch due to the fact that it happens after everything warms up.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Noisy Manual Trans In Reverse / Whining In 1st And 2nd Gear

I have an 04 Jetta 1.8T that I recently acquired and have a problem with a noisy manual tranny. Reverse is a bit noisy (more than usual) and when I get on it in 1st and 2nd gear it sounds like an awful whining noise. I have been told it could be either a bad throw out bearing or input bearing? BTW this thing shift perfect, like butter, no grinding at all.

Golf IV R32 :: Whining Noise At Highway Speeds

So my car started to make this noise, hear it more at highway speeds than anything else. It's like a high pitched whine or whistle. When I'm on the accelerator it goes away, soon as I take my foot off the gas it starts up. Just cruising and engage clutch goes away as well. Sounds like coming from rear but hard to tell, hear it at low speeds but not as loud.

Golf VI R :: Whining Noise From Rear Of Vehicle Came And Went

Just today I started hearing a whining noise from the rear that came and went. I wouldn't be worried but it was so loud that the radio could not drowned it out anymore. The noise when away when I gave the car some throttle so I am thinking its the rear diff. It was pouring down rain and I wonder if there was some part of that that could have had an affect.
