    Default just curious.....

    hey guys
    this might seem strange but i got a whining noise somewhere. every time i take off i get a whining noise but the harder i put my foot down the louder it gets.i have taken my car to the local machanic but he said theres nothing wrong and not to worry about it but im just curious if any 1 else has got a simular thing lol. i gotta admit it sounds alright but i havent done anything to the engine its just stock standard lol :S

    does it whine as the engine revs?? or does it only whine as the vehicle is moving? if it whines whilst moving i would say it is the diff...

    it does it while the vehicle is moving but it sounds like its coming from the front end somewhere. its been doing it ever since i got the car and the funny part about it is that it sounds a bit like a supercharger but not as loud.

    Well personally never had a tranny in my car so not sure what noise they make. I prefer girls that dress like girls and are girls

    *my attempt of trying to be humerous, epic fail :P*

    Does your car have a pod?
