The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) V

Pintsize725

Totally random question but does anyone else have a high pitched buzz while driving? I noticed it on the cruise this weekend and now I can't ignore it.

Just my exhaust.

I'll have a listen on my drive home and see.

Maybe it's that ECU whine people have been talking about? Or a speaker is blown (or close to)?

kenchan

hey did you get that exhaust tip lined up?

Haboob

Cali is a nice place to visit. I wouldn't want to live there. But I'm way far away (30mi) from downtown Phoenix, where I work. I hate it.

Not yet. I haven't had much time. I may try today, if not I'll have to leave it to the weekend.

kenchan

ahh, thanks for the info. that sucks you cant just turn the darn thing...humm...

if you have an app that can measure frequency on your phone you might be able to capture which frequencity that whine is. if not, use a tuner app and see if you can match the pitch. then go up an octave or two and find the frequency.

do you know what bandwidth your mats can contain sound? im not sure if it goes up that high...


is your 30min commute like through a pretty rural area? my commute is like 25min but round trip is less than 25miles.

GL adjusting the hanger height. should be an easy fix.

Haboob

Nope, it's all boring freeway. 30 miles takes about 35min. Boring drive, looking at taillights.

kenchan

oh i see..

i can see why you'd want to get a dd for that. how about the new accord sedan?

blackcherry20

my commute? 45mi. One way. Takes me an hour. I only see about 10 cars in the morning, see probably half that many critters scurrying around.

cali is a nice place to be. if i did not have kids, i would still live in socal. i hope to retire there some day.

in need to find j-retirement home so i dont have to eat mac&cheeze and airline-like food every f-king day.

does that sound like a crt (old tube tv)? if so, you might have the high pitched whine from the ECU.

Pintsize725

Yeah, I believe that's it.

yah, it's a known issue.... but no real fix for it unless you can get the dealer to replace it.

see if you can hear the whine in the passenger seat. i think it's position sensitive. if so, you might be able to angle the ecu in a way you can't hear it from the driver's seat. or try your GTMatt magic?

Pintsize725

Yes, you can hear it from both seats. I drove and was a passenger this weekend. I'll see what I can think of for a fix.
