The noise was described as a high pitch, electronic sounding whine that is difficult to localize but appears to be coming from the engine bay.

I too frequently hear the noise but fortunately it doesn't bother me as much and has just become a part of the car for me. However, I'd love to hear what's causing it and have it changed if possible.

From the original threads about this, G37 owners claim to hear it as well.

I may have started this thread, if not, another like it. If you raise the hood you will find it appears to come from under the engine cover. When inside the car, the sound emanates from the dash (between you and the engine, duh, lol), makes it hard to totally locate it. As Spearfish states, it goes back to the G37. If you are quiet after you turn off your engine, it will continue for about 3 seconds then die off. I can't hear it when the car is running, so I ignore it now.

Well all I can say is you must have a louder pitch than the rest of us have, you can't even hear it on my car when the motor is running.

Wow, you guys must have some serious ninja hearing going on, because the only thing i hear is loud music or road noise with the occasional pebble pinging off the inside of the fender hehe :)

(I'm not complaining, if i wanted a quiet ride I would have bought something else)


I tried to listen for it but could not hear it.

I had the hood open today and had someone in the car while it was running, when they turned the car off, the sound continued for about 2-3 seconds.
Try it and you'll see what I mean. It's a constant hi-pitched sine wave sound though. I originally thought this was coming from some electrical component behind the dash, now it seams like it is from the engine bay, and I'm just hearing it coming through the dash.
