carguyco Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hi guys This has only happened a few times but since it happened today i thought I would see what you all though. Every time this has happened it has been after a 30+minute drive home...it happened this summer and now it has happened this winter... The last stretch of road to my home I lose the radio signal on my stereo..so I turn it off...as i approach a stop sign that is the last stop sign on my way up to my home....I hear it. A low whistle/whine noise...clutch in clutch out, doesn't seem to matter...lasts about 5 seconds as I come to a stop..and then starts up again as i get going...lasts 5 seconds both ways than goes away. 5 speedMT....2007 GT....no mods. 60k low whistling humming whining sound almost like you would make if you made a low whistle between your lips softly when you see something that you don't want your wife to know you saw yet you cannot keep yourself from making a noise...you know what I mean. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Normal turbo noise or a belt that's slipping (probably alternator belt, but can be AC belt too) or idler pulley that's bad. Hard to tell without putting the ears under the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BL_Soldier Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Do you have a general idea of where the sound is coming from? Engine bay? Tranny? Etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carguyco Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Maybe a vacuum leak is what I've been told..... Sound is coming from just above my feet from the engine bay it sounds like, I cannot reproduce the sound it only happens when it wants to happen if you know what I mean. Next time I hear it I'll record it....see what happens then. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sansoo Ian Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 It could be the normal whine the gears make as you slow down or start to go. I had a similar but different problem with mine. I kept hearing like a faint but very noticeable kind of shopvac high pitch whine whenever i got up to 60 mph; turned out to be a rear differential problem. But yeah a recording would definitely help us help you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shutterbc Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Also something to consider is the road you're on. Is there a different pavement surface where you're driving? Can you reproduce the sound elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carguyco Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 The sound happens at a stand still.....as I coast to a stop sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subarovsky Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I have the same kind of sound but I think mine is the turbo not sure though but mine only occurs at a stop and when i accelerate it goes away, I started a thread on here a while back about it but never got any replies. I doubt its anything serious though but you never know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carguyco Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 That is exactly what mine does! But it doesn't do it all the time...in fact hasn't done it that I've noticed since I started this topic. I wonder if it is a vaccuum leak ?
