Name that sound!

[Officeneeds247]

Im looking for help in solving a question i have been asking myself since i first gave my car the full beans.

I get a chirping noise when changing gear at high revs, it doesnt sound wrong, i just dont know what causes the noise.

I have a vid on youtube below, you can hear it in both changes

There's a raccoon in your glovebox.

Seriously though, mine doesn't make that noise, I'd take it back to Renault.

You are kidding right?

That's the Mach 2 warning sound!

nice running in period though there are renault uk people on these forums. i would say the insturment panel is set incorrectly as thats what beeping

It seems some people are confused.

He's not talking about the shift beep, turn your volume up, listen out for the "chirp" just after the shift beep, it shouldn't be making that noise.

 

[Collier]

It's your audible shift indicator. and it's perfectly normal. Notice it is accompanied by the "shift light"

Hahah Pwnd now I hear it.

to be honest i didnt really listen as he has the radio on which really helps matters. and i was thinking thats not run in really he can hardly take it back and say when i give it the full beans i get this noise, as anything that goes wrong with that car it will be on there system he didnt run it in correctly

It's a Renault. Part of the assembly process is fitting a bag of rattles and a box of strange noises.

Seriously, it sounds like trim or exhaust to me and not engine/ mechanical.
I don't think I'd be too worried but that's me.

It's something to do with the induction but I thought onlt turbo cars did it (something to do with the wastegate). My smart used to do it when I put the K&N induction kit on it. Rally cars do it too if you listen.

^ aye it must be all that pressurised air coming back through the turbine blades ..... oh wait :clown:
