Another "what's this odd noise" post ; )
So here's what's happening. It may be normal but I wanted to run it by everyone to see if you guys notice it to!
The noise: ONLY upon quick acceleration, In ALL gears, do I get this SCREETCHING....WHISTLING/ZIPPING, almost sounds identical to the spooling of a turbo....at first it sounded like the engine was "spooling' very loudly and although it sounds "tough", I'm concerned bc ..."I don't have a turbo" haha
Then I started thinking maybe it's not the engine but rather the suction of air from the ducts/blocked off resonators....and it makes sense but I can't be sure. I mean when I blocked off the resonator holes, its pretty flush so any quick suction of air "shouldn't" make this noise but I was under the assumption that even at WOT or heavy throttle that the suction from the airbox/ducts in not THAT powerful? (Feel free to educate me here)
At first I thought it was one of two things. Either a whistling/zipp sound made from the suction of air passing past my blocked off resonators? Or...my lock key (from my keychain) vibrating off the triple tree.
The more I hear it the more I lean towards the blocked of resonators...When I took them out, I merely taped over both small holes very tightly with electrical tape. I thought maybe one or both came undone thus making the zipping noise but after looking into the ram air ducts with a light, they both are still securely sealed.
Any ideas?
Btw...and it probably doesnt matter but I have a bootleg pipe, BMC filter and 2bro's mapped USB PC3
