  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

My 2011 4.6 makes a "waahh" sound when accelerating lightly from a stop at 1300-1800 rpm. I can make it go away by stepping harder on the throttle. Passengers ask "what's that noise" so it's not just me. It's not the cool intake noise of a high performance engine. It's a something's broken sound. Nothing appears loose or disconnected in the engine compartment. Thoughts?
 
Any chance you could drive in manual mode and keep the rpm's in that range in first or second gear? If it still makes the noise, definitely take the car in since it can be duplicated
