Guys, maybe I'm going crazy but some of you might know waht I'm talking about. Last week when I was washing my car in the garage, everything was quiet but I kept hearing this weird whistle like sound every once in a while. It seemed like it came from the back end of the car but I thought it was most likely the wind going through a garage window or something. It reminded me of the sound the car makes when the ABS compressor kicks in when you start the car, except a lillte brighter tone.

Problem is, yesterday, as I was standing by the car OUTSIDE, I heard the same freakin buzzing sound and once again it seemed to come from the back end of the car !!!!! The keys were not in the ignition at all.


My girlfriend looked at me and said "The Acura just farted !" WTF ?


Just like a pneumatic suspension trying to level a car ...... ?????????

 

That's strange. My car makes a clicking sound right in front of the rear drivers side wheel well (when it's running). It almost sounds like the purge valve clicking. I told the service depatment about it at Acura and they said it wasn't anything to worry about. If I had to guess, I'd say it is the fuel pump. Yours is different, very odd I must say.

 

Mine makes that sound from time to time. Its around the rear drivers wheel.

 

I cant think of the exact name but its normal.. Its letting air out of the gas tank. I know PA could help me out on this one

 

So my girlfriend was kinda right...it is a form of "gas" coming out of the car ...

 

yea...alot of honda's do that. both my accords did it, and so does this one. just not as loud as the accords did.

 

great...my car possesses the ability to fart. just what else can it do?

 

heh...my Integra did that too...as well as my CL...

 

I've never heard that before. My Accord never did that, that I'm aware of. But the fan did kick in on extremely hot days when the car was turned off.

 

yeah i always heard that and I never really knew what it was...but it does sound like a compressor leveling the car

 

My mother had an expidition that made a noisy similar to that, but i know it actually was the rear suspension leveler that made the noise.
