Hello there!

My car listed above is making a whistling sound only when accelerating at a certain position. I have attached a link to the video of my car.

When pressing on the gas pedal on a scale of 1-10 (1 being lightly pressed, while 10 being pressed to the ground), the noise only occurs when the gas pedal is pressed at about 2 or 3. If pressed harder or lighter than that, there is no noise at all. It also only occurs in Drive, no other gears.

Thank you!

Hi,

I did listen to the video. It's really hard to hear whistling because of the wind. Do me a favor. When you hear the sound, lightly touch the brake pedal to see if the sound changes pitch or changes.

Also, pay attention to see if it changes when turning the steering. See if there is anything that can cause it other than throttle pressure.

Let me know.
