Induction whistle question

[sinnie92]

ive noticed on pretty much every clio except mine:

there is a high pitched pssshhhwwwwwww which follows the revs when revving under no load.

my 182 doesnt do this, and i would like it too cause its a cool noise HAHA!

What probable cause could be stopping it?

Just to clarify, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvXiywZsnI0&feature=related between 23-26 seconds. Real high pitched

Cheers

:S

Is your exhaust standard?

 

[sinnie92]

car is 100% standard except for k&n panel filter

 

[Stefan.]

why link a car with a yozza exhaust when yours is standard?? :S

 

[sinnie92]

Ermm, its Nout to do with exhaust, the whistle is the concern. From what I gather the noise eminates from the inlet side of things, and it isn't there on mine..

could try this?

Are you talking about the whining sort of noise?

Mine does it really badly and ever more so when i change gear so i figured it was from the gearbox :s

buy a little whistle and gaffer tape it into your air pipe before the filter. hehe

 

[JHead]

on a serious note, dont, that seems like a very silly thing to do.. are you sure every other clio does it? maybe they have decent induction kits, or turbos on?? ( if you're talking a bout a whistle and pppsssswwhhh

 

[sinnie92]

Right, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIW_fgPQa9Q ignore the fact this is a zaust vid ( what other clio vids are likely to be on youtube) listen hard after startup and there is a sooperdooper high pitched noise which follows the rpm of the engine. this is what i want to know, and what it means if mine doesnt do it as both my mates (182, 172mk2) do it :/

I no the noise you mean now. I can't help you though sorry lol.

On another note, tut tut for revving a cold car like that

 

[sinnie92]

dangnammmiittttt, does anyone know what the noise is? and at least you know what im on about harding haha

 

[Joe#]

We're getting somewhere then aha.

 

[LiamR172]

Probably better if your car DOESNT do it tbh.

 

[ekaJ]

I kinda know what you mean haha I dont like that noise.

To me it sounds like the cam, aux belt and pulleys. On each occasion that I have had a full set of belts and pulleys the sound has seemed clearer to me. Like a whiney whistle kind of sound, but in a good, well sorted sort of way !

 

[jesus]

Mine did this as soon as I had the cambelt, aux and dephaser done. It's gone now though.

 

[Carbonraider]

The high pitched noise is the power steering pump.. If I'm not wrong. Ask your mate with the engine running and car stationary turn the wheel lock to lock and the pitch of the noise will tell.

Hope I'm listening to the right noise but hope this helps...

 

[sinnie92]

ps pump sounds probable as it follows the revs bang on.... if mine dont do it, maybe worn pump? or new pump that differs from oe?
