View Full Version : Weird airflow sound

I never noticed this sound before now and am curious to know whether it's normal. When the engine is revved in neutral, or accelerating at low speeds, there's a distinct air flow sound coming from the engine bay. It's not the turbo spooling, I'm not that dumb.

It's a strange noise and I've never noticed it before, it's almost like a gurgle. The reason I ask is that I took a inclined driveway a little too fast the other day and I noticed the noise after that.

Sorry for the stupid question!

Its your flux capacitor. Take it to the dealership immediately and make sure they also check the rotary girder for damage.
This isnt too serious, but can be an expensive fix later on.

i was thinking either flux capacitator or maybe a loose muffler belt. either way, you should take it to the dealer and have them check both things.

most definately sounds like the flux capaciter, your resivoir could be low, take it in and have it checked for fluid.

You're running low on blinker fluid. When you put on your blinker to turn into the driveway the sound was the blinker fluid pump trying to work.

No but really...it could be the low-pitched version of the turkey....does it happen when you let off the gas?

ROFLMFAO, prolly nothing serious, I hear the sound too, but still check you flux capaciter, and make sure they take an extra good look at that rotary girder, if it's off by the tineist bit, it will throw your headlight fluid temp way up, and that could then transfer the heat to you fan liquidator, which could cause you engine to get steamy hot, and passionate. You don't want it to rear end anybody, as you'll have to pay the insurance

indeed, as I stated, I hear the noise, and it is as harmless as me, or a kitty cat, or a butterfly, or a puppie dig, or a caterpiller(non poisonis, lol) or a honda, ahhhhahahahahahahahaha, harmless, get it. Sorry, I'm in a jokester mood dude. but yeah, don't worry about the noise, and don't take this joking the wrong way, it means we accept you, semi-newb.lol

I don’t know if you are still hearing the noise but my MSP had a similar problem. The noise showed up one night after the car had been sitting out side all day. The sound also was more apparent when accelerating but then would disappear once the car warmed up. It turned out to be a cracked manifold bolt
