hey peoples. I think I'm probably just being paranoid here but when i have the windows down i can hear my z making a slight whining sound almost like theres a tiny supercharger under the hood. It changes pitch with the pitch of the engine. in other words as the pitch of the engine goes up with the rpm's so does the pitch of the whining. and then when the car shifts gears and the engine goes back down to a lower pitch the whiining does as well. is this normal?

 

Almost sounds like the Z + Popcharger added to it.

 

This has been discussed years ago. I think it's the fuel regulator motor whine. It's been awhile... normal. It's louder at cold startup.

 

Your car is supercharged.



jk yeah it's normal no worries.

 

Is your car a female?

 

love that last comment. I did just install a K&N filter could that be it?

 

My experience with the whine, is it's the clutch/tranny.

Rev your car with the clutch pressed in.

Then rev it with the clutch out and car in neutral.

It will whine in neutral clutch out but not with the clutch in.

Will also whine when in a given gear is engaged and vehicle moving.

Will change with rpms.

I actually like the whine sound. One of the few noises it makes I do like.

 

I only get the whine down gearing... god i love the sound...

 

I have the same problem, I think it might be my S/C though j/k One thing I have learned about the Z is that it has a million little noises that are normal, not much noise dampening on this sports car also the more you drive it the more you will notice these little noises. Trust me its normal, I would not worry about it.

 

Oh god, with all the loud *** gear clicks, clutch clanking, clutch chatter my 06 G coupe 6MT makes (multiplied by 3X on a cold startup ) , Ive learned to live with it. This is by far the loudest tranny ive ever heard in any car. I actually like the noises , you can hear everything thats going on down there . I love my car...

 

my z only whines when i donkey punch her

 

Whats a Donkey Punch

 

My '06 whines too. Sounds like a race car with straight cut gears. I like the sound and all the other noises the Z makes.

 

Interior *Creak*

5th gear *crunch*

clutch *thud*

 

haha, it's when a big monkey punches it

 

Hahahahaa.... Cause she whines like one! J/K not hating on women, but just found that funny..

Actually my car whined with the engine all the time.. and I later figured it out.. Its the radio! To listen to the whine better, I turned the radio down. The whine was still there, but as soon as I turned the radio off... Poof! It totally disappeared.. don't know if the guys installed it wrong or what, but it was definitely connected...

Give it a try!

 

mine is an AT would the tranny still make that noise?

 

You sorta sound like you want it to whine.
