Hey guys, idk it is me thinking too much or there is something wrong with my engine.
During the 2.5-4k rpm range, my car makes a "card on bicycle wheel" type sound, the engine only has 8000miles on it, and the sound went lower after engine oil change weeks ago. it gets a bit louder when the weather is cold. it is not really loud as the TCT problem but it is there, i can hear when driving the car with all windows closed.(i tried to record with my phone actually my phone wont even pick it up, so it is really not loud at all)

can someone send me a stock sound of the F22 so i can compare to mine?! those on youtube are not really clear.
or does anyone know is this normal?!

thanks

sorry, couldn't resist.

 

that video is really long.....

 

i would suggest posting a vid of your car so that we can hear it. or just go to the dealership, thats what a warranty is for.

 

 

my friend whos a mechanic at honda said the engine sounds nothing wrong, and i am the only person who can hear it for most of the time, my gf, or my fd doesnt notice it as much as i do......(or they dun even notice it....)

and i just recorded a video, warm start rev to 4k.... since it is not cold today i do not even notice it when driving....... how weird is that....

Can't hear anything wrong with it. My '07 only has 6000km's and sounds the same. I've had 5 oil changes so far.

 

mine has that lil tick at idle, its normal when its cold

 

unless something got changed in the recording that engine sounds perfectly allright. Maybe another half quart of oil could be added but I think it sounds fine.

 

hm... so nobody ever experienced such sound that i described around 2.5k-4k rpm?! *sigh

its good to hear my engine sounds alright. thx
