    Default hollow noise when accelerate

    hi, guys, I just noticed a hollow sound from left front when I press the accelerate, horrified, is this the engine or the transmission. I just changed the engine oil, and the trany has been flushed less than one year. I did drive t he car with out putting the engine cap back several times but what else could this be?

    is it like a metallic rattling (ie pinging) or sucking noise? whining???, can u get a audio clip of it?

    its not a vaccume leak or it'd be louder on idle

    I think I know what type of sound you are talking about.

    It used to happen when accelerating at 100km/h in fifth for me. It was like a deep hollow induction sound.

    It was a long time ago so I'm sorry I can't remember what the issue was or whether it just went away by itself.

    yes, deep and hollow, but mine is from 30to 60km/h.
