Why does the VN sound like a vacuum cleaner?

[VT&VX]

why does the Vn V6 Buick sound like it has emphysema, or like its trying to imitate a vacuum cleaner?

So you are saying your car SUCKS?

....because car stereo is on a low volume setting, you just need to turn volume UP to NORMAL

Getting back to the OP, my lasting memory of the VN S1 I owned was a gasp of air every time I shut it down but at all other times it just sounded like an engine. V6s tend to have a rasp at higher revs (especially chain-driven 90-degree V6s) as opposed to a 'note' but relating this to a vacuum cleaner is a bit rich.

I have a VN v6 motor in my vacume cleaner cause I have a lot of pets and I heard dyson were bad... ..

Put a ford sticker on it, it will suck more

No vacuum sound when bouncing it off rev limiter brah...just mang mang mang mangggggg

Just manging down the highway...
Second gear doin 120

Dude, your dyson is broken. Mine is a million times better than the jag i had before it.

Damnit.... i thought dyson was the best... :cry:

Being a bad car wouldn’t make it sound like a vacuum, have a listen to the turbo charged Mustang, it sounds like my leaf blower

Haha rip Mustang... but then the turbocharged are only 4 cylinder sooo who would want one of those

because car stereo is on a low volume setting, you just need to turn volume UP to NORMAL

I have better things to listen to than the stereo... like the mild exhaust it has

So this "vacuum cleaner" is the car running rich?
Oh the gasp as it dies, I love it

Check for holes in the intake tract .

One serious answer in all that (entertaining) mix. A loose/misaligned join on the intake side makes a shirtload of noise that, I suppose might sound like some vacuum cleaners

Funny you say that, because yesterday I put a stock air filter on it, instead of those cone ones, and the vacuum noise went away

They are.

Sigh, the joys of home ownership and fitting new carpet. Lol

So hang on, you had a pod filter on this thing and you didn't think for a minute that it was the stupid (likely cheap) after market filter causing it to sound like a vacuum? Instead you posted here? The cheap pod filter is why your V6 sounds like a vacuum. And that's why Holden or anyone else wasn't silly enough to fit one as standard equipment.

... nice theory butttttttttttttt
I have a VN motor in a EK Panelvan and is breaths like nothing else, and for some unrelated reason i put the more standard filter on it from a VN Wagon.... and guess what. It still breaths like nothing else
So you can take your stupid theory, reclall all your E-Mails to the pod filter companys telling them that their cheap crappy filters make cars sound like vacuums,and leave
Kthxbai
