I am getting this whining noise, kinda high pitch when accelerating at around 60mph. If I let off the gas, it goes away but as soon as I press on it again, it comes back. Anyone know what this might be?

 

Do you have an aftermarket stereo installed? Maybe it's alternator whine.

 

I've had a whine before, but it was almost continuous at high speeds. It turned out to be the tires... but I doubt thats what your experiencing.

Do you have headers?

 

I still have my stock tires with 56k miles on them. I do have an aftermarket stereo installed but it happened before that too.

I don't have headers.

 

You still have stock tires with 56K on them? Holy crap! thats rediculous.. I've NEVER heard of anyone keeping tires for that long! Even if thats not the noise... You'll notice a big change when you switch tires... i hate those friggin michelin energys...

I could still go another 20k with my stock tires. They have a good amount of tread still left on them...

 

TAKE YOUR CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. HAVE THEM FIX THE CAR. DONT TAKE SH*T FROM THEM. KEEP INSISTING YOUR PROBLEM UNTIL IT IS FIXED. THEY WILL DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO CLAIM THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR CAR.

 

At this point, there are so many things wrong with my car that I don't even care really. The car drives worse than our 180k mile accord. Seriously, I hate driving the thing. I just like looking at it. Everytime we go somewhere, I insist someone else drive because, I can't stand the transmission being so f**ked up amongst other things with the engine.

 

Its Possible that the front pipe has a hair line crack in it -just like the Integras had a problem with-

 

Could you be more specific? Which front pipe are you referring to?

 

might be tranny, i have a lude and the ****ing thing whined all the time when i accelerated and went in for service it was my tranny got it replaced

 

Black TL,

I have the same problem with my car. Have you found out what the problem was.

No, not yet.. I have to make an appointment for my 60k service and I will let them know about this problem. If I find out what is is, I will let you know.

 

Supercharger whine?

(sorry your having trouble, I couldn't resist)

 

I think it's called a WIFE.

 

I had the same noise, especially while accelerating through the lower gears. Dealership has done a lot of work (like replacing throttle plate), but ended up with the transmission replacement. It's better now, but there is still some whining noise that I can hear (I am slightly paranoid about noises). While driving different loaners during that ordeal (all 3.2 TL, and one with only 19k) I've heard the same kind of whining - much less pronounced though.

 

check cv joints, wheel bearings, tires, etc...

when i had the whining noise, they replaced the bearings and it was fine, BUT then i had the wobble, which they say is from thw tires being out of round.

 

Rear exhaust manifold down pipe meets ft pipe I have seen hair line cracks that cause this whistle-
