My 2005 Acura RL with 120k recently start making a whistling sound from front end.

Mostly when the car coming to a stop , it start whistling, when I gas a little it goes away but when it idle it whistle again

Sound is really annoying

Anybody experience this???

I've heard this on very rare occasions, and not under the same circumstances. Only hear it slowing down to turn a corner and with the driver's window lowered. It is clearly a whistle, not a squeak.

No clue what causes it....hope that helped (NOT....sorry).

Tea pot?

Maybe a video for reference?

Radiator cap?
Def need a vid.

I have had a faulty radiator cap and didn't hear any whistles. Not that it can't be though. Heavy may be onto something with focusing on a pressurized system like the cooling system. Leaking vacuum canister?

It is interesting that you can hear it better from the rear door than you can from the hood (unless you were covering the mic). Can you confirm where the sound is the loudest? You say that if you gas it, the sound goes away? That is an unusual and very loud sound.

I agree with 007, that's not a "whistle" it sounds like a dying fuel pump or the sounds of a failing alarm.

Fuel pump is a great guess especially if the pedal changes the sound.

The sound seem to be loudest from the bottom of the engine, I will try to make another video , when the sound come back.

The sound is not alway there, it come back only with the car is warm up and only when it want to.
