Ravengage Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Hey all-- When the car reaches 40-45 MPH @ 1800-2000 RPM, usually in 5th gear, it makes a strange, building, medium-pitched ringing sound. The ringing stops as the car gains speed or slows down. The windows are all sealed shut & there is no roof rack. The noise is definitely coming from the engine compartment. I thought it was working out it's glitches but now past 1500 miles & it hasn't changed. I'm not terribly concerned though it's a 6/10 on the "annoying scale." Has anyone had a similar issue? Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas? Hmm, thats unusual... I would take it in, considering that its sooo new, I can't imagine you having any problems with Subaru on this. it's best to take care of it now before it get's worse.

Ravengage Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 Thanks HuRRiC4Ne. I will do so. It doesn't seem to affect performance, MPG, ride quality, etc. It's just a funny ringing. LOL I thought perhaps someone else had experienced it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

http404 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I think I'm experiencing something similar in my 06 legacy. It's happened on / off for the last year. Occasionally ill hear a subtle, but noticeable noise. An electric ring that changes pitch would be how I would best describe it. I tried to take a recording of it, but road noise was too much for my cell phone's mic. If anyone ever found out what this was, please reply. Thanks!
