Default High pitched whine.

I'm not sure if this is normal, but my car has a high pitched whine when I'm in low gears. I test drove a different S2000 before and it didn't whine in low gears.

Is this normal?

I thought when it whines, your differential is going bad?

If one car makes a noise that another does not there is a problem.


Since none of us can hear the noise online finding the source is just about impossible.

I have an 07. Even when I warm the car up before driving, it still whines during low gears. I can't tell during high gears because of wind noise and engine noise.

Best way to describe it, is it sounds like an RC car, but softer and not as loud.

i have the same exact symptoms, started right after a botched launch, also sounds as if something is dragging in lower rpms and vibration under hard acceleration, so i know its going to be something serious, haven't had to time to get it checked yet, please keep us posted
