that whining sound when you step on the gas....
so as curls mentioned in his post:
https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...1&page=2&pp=25
he got rid of his whining sound by changing some gaskets... just wondering if anyone else has pursued this and if they've gotten rid of their whine.
thanks!

I could be wrong, but I believe long block is engine block + head and short block is just the engine block.

Short block = the engine block without the head (block casting, pistons, rods, crank, etc.)
Long block = the complete engine, including the head (engine from valve cover to oil pan)

I have 120+k miles in my car. There is no problem but some noises. So, I will just let it be. In a matter of fact, the noise has been there ever since I bought the car in 2003. So, if something was going to burn up or blow up or die on me, I would not be running my car over 120+ thousands of miles for the past 4 years.
So, I will not worry about it at all.

update: I called rallye acura and asked them about the problem on the phone -- they said it sounds like a problem with something in the final drive and will be glad to look at it. I made an appointment for monday morning -- will keep you guys updated.

at first the guy at the counter said it might be a final drive issue, but once the mechanic saw it, he came out and told me that this is common with 04's and 05's and there's nothing wrong with it. o well guess i'll get used to it.

I have an 06 and I have this problem as well =(
I love my baby, but I'm so sick and tired of the problems. This whining noise, that mystery shake in the body, and all the fucking rattles that keep appearing.

Make a hole, coming thru!
I may know what you guys mean. Yesterday with the stereo off, I heard a very faint whine sound at 3000 RPM. But it didn't seem to "suddenly happen," nor did it sound unusual. Simple intake sound. As it wasn't remarkable, I wasn't bothered by it. Maybe on others' cars, it's really noticeable, in which I'd suspect a bad gasket, seal, or some other component on the intake or manifold systems.

I am looking at the brochure. It says that the intake header has a valve to restrict the air in low speed. The valve will open wider in higher speed. Will that be the sound coming from when the valve is opening and closing inside the intake header?

so I had some extra time this morning and decided to bring my car to a local shop that specializes in hondas. One of the mechanics rode with me and believed the noise was coming from the transmission. Got the head mechanic who recommended that I just wait because without a TSB finding the cause of that sound would be like finding a needle in a haystack. He said the only way to do it would be to rebuild or get a new transmission.
So, my plan going forward is to call as many acura service departments as possible to see if anyone has actually figured out what this problem is... I can't be the only person out there driven insane by this noise... I'll update this thread as I call more places...

I had this noise after i came back from vacation. About a week later, my tranny died. Just got the car back with a replacement tranny and no more whining.
This is a 05 AT with 43,000km.

Progress!!
I drove an extra 20 miles today to get my 30k service done at Smithtown Acura in Long Island. In addition to the standard stuff, they convinced me to get new tires and change my rear brakes. I told them about this whining noise, without any expectation of them actually trying to fix it. Well, surprise! Long story short they're gonna replace my tranny... they said it's definitely coming from the final drive, but there's really no way of knowing whats wrong without opening up the tranny. These guys are definitely the best Acura shop in the NYC area and I would recommend them over Rallye Acura any day, especially when it comes to service and maintenance. Anyway, I'm going on vacation for a week and when I come back the replacement tranny is gonna be here and I'm very hopefully that this problem will finally be solved =D

I know this has nothing related to the performance of the car (I thought it did at first), but I noticed that if you have the radio set to the AUX setting with the volume up pretty loud while my iPod connected (not playing), it makes a funny whine when you step on the gas, and it sounds like it's from the engine compartment. It's weird.
