Whistling noise on Cup

[t_sheen]

I have noticed when i have been putting my foot down that my Cup has been making a whistling sound. It seems to do it above 4000 rpm.

I have checked all the airbox and it seems fine.

Anyone else had this problem or any ideas of what it could be?

I took mine out for a spin last night after putting a new air filter in. I switched off the climate and radio for the first time and noticed mine does the same thing.

[y0z2a]

air intake then... its air related.

So the cars do this? Or is there a problem with everyones? or am i just getting paranoid?

Iv got that noise at higher revs - I just put it down to a characteristic.

I got one of the last Cups so maybe they fitted them to the last few

my 1.2 16v does it! was quite a high pitch whistle at around 4.5 - 5k on the revs. doesnt do it all the time though. i thought it must be some sort of leak of air or pressure, but i havent found out where from yet.

My guess is youve been through Manchester at some point and a couple of ravers have just snook in to the engine bay for a bit of a kip between sessions, dont worry just give em a bottle of water each and point them back toward manchester and youll be fine
