When accelerating and my RPM is around 2000, I hear whistling; however it goes away if i go above or below 2000. Is that normal?

 

is it a turbo whistle? do you have an intake on your car?

 

I don't know if its a turbo whistle. How do I tell? Also I don't think I have an intake on my car. Sorry I can't be more informative, I am a true novice at this.

 

turbo whistle is like the high pitch sound that a big truck makes when accelerating.

 

Hi,
Exactly what kf said. A couple of things make me thing that it isnt. If it was the turbo making the sound it would only start at about 2500 RPM's and would carry to about 3500. If you had an intake this sound would be amplified followed by a whoosh (from the diverter valve). I dont think it would be a wheel bearing as that would be a consitant sound not relative to RPM's. This is a tough one without actually hearing it. Can you isolate where it is coming from?

 

I did a quick search on youtube for 'turbo whistling' sounds and it doesn't sound like that. It is more like a high pitched whistle.

 

if you park your car but leave it running, open the hood, do you hear it?

 

I can hear it only if i rev up the engine. ~2000 rpm

 

i have a whistle from the mirror on the drivers door. only happens from 40km/h to about 60km/h.

 

It is definitely coming from around the engine.
