woo woo noise from front?

[Clioman51]

hello i have an issue, I've not had a 172 too long but i assume its not normal to get a wooing noise from the front. i only get it under really hard acceleration. could it be my gearbox/differential or something. seems to be from that area?

thanks Dean

If its like a wub wub wub wub wub it could be the lower engine mount, had it tightened and it went away.
But it was also making another funny noise under heavy acceleration but dont know what the heck that is, mistified the Yozz too :S

I know it tickled me... we should start posting sound clips of our engine noise impressions!

Ohh hang on does it happen at a certain speed? or over a certain speed? Could be wheel bearing if its like a droning rotating sound?

nice ill have to keep checking things it only happens when the engine is over 5k rpm or so

exhaust heat shield maybe, lots of vibration from the engine could cause that.....

can easily be solved, DONT GO OVER 5K!!!
